The project activity by Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited, hereafter refereed as APGENCO, entails phase wise installation of six run of the river hydroelectric power units, each of 39 MW capacity, on an existing reservoir where the volume and flooded area of the reservoir, built since 1992, was not increased. The first unit was commissioned in August 2008.  The power units are installed across Krishna River near Revulapally village in Mahaboobnagar district of Andhra Pradesh. The project includes construction of electric sub-stations, fabrication and installation of six hydroelectric units of 39 MW capacity each. The plant will have the total installed capacity of 234 MW. The power generated will be exported to AP State grid, which is part of Southern region (SR) grid in India. The Project will generate emission reductions by displacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity.

APGENCO Run of the River Hydroelectric Power Project

Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation Limited (APGENCO) has undertaken a project to install six run of the river hydroelectric power units near Revulapally village in Mahaboobnagar district of Andhra Pradesh. The first unit was commissioned in August 2008. The project involves the construction of electric sub-stations and the fabrication and installation of six hydroelectric units, each with a capacity of 39 MW, on an existing reservoir without increasing its flooded area. The completed plant will have a total installed capacity of 234 MW.

Key Highlights:
- APGENCO installs six run of the river hydroelectric power units, each with a capacity of 39 MW, on an existing reservoir without increasing its flooded area.
- The completed plant will have a total installed capacity of 234 MW and will generate electricity to be exported to AP State grid, which is part of Southern region (SR) grid in India.
- The project involves the construction of electric sub-stations and the fabrication and installation of six hydroelectric units.
- The project displaces electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants that would otherwise be generating electricity, resulting in a reduction in emissions.

The APGENCO Run of the River Hydroelectric Power Project is an important initiative in India's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. By generating electricity from a renewable source, the project helps to reduce the country's dependence on fossil fuels and mitigate the harmful effects of climate change. Additionally, the project creates job opportunities and promotes sustainable development in the region. Overall, the APGENCO Run of the River Hydroelectric Power Project is a significant step towards a cleaner, greener future for India.

Grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources

Hydro Power Project In Backward District Of Andhra Pradesh, India

APGENCO's project involves the installation of six hydroelectric units, each with a capacity of 39 MW, on an existing reservoir without increasing its volume or flooded area. The project will generate emission reductions by replacing electricity generation from grid connected fossil fuel-fired power plants. The total installed capacity of the plant will be 234 MW, and the power generated will be exported to AP State grid.
