YTPS gets first coal rake from Naini
The Yadadri Thermal Power Station has received its first coal shipment from the Naini Block to address supply shortages. This high-quality coal is expected to improve boiler efficiency and help the plant reach its full generation capacity.
Why it matters
Securing reliable fuel sources is critical for maintaining power grid stability and meeting energy demands in the region.
The first rake of coal from Naini Block reached the 5x800 megawatt Yadadri Thermal Power Station (YTPS) near Damaracherla in Nalgonda district on Tuesday to help the new thermal generating station overcome the coal shortage.
The rake carrying 4,000 tonnes of G-10 grade coal would help improve the efficiency of the power plant and make it operate at its rated capacity. The arrival of Naini coal assumes significance in the backdrop of TG-Genco sending a communication to the Ministry of Power seeking allocation of 5 million tonnes of additional coal as Singareni Collieries which was supplying coal to YTPS was unable to meet the coal demand both in terms of quantity and quality.
On August 6, the first rake of G-10 grade coal from Naini Block reached the 2x600 MW Singareni Thermal Power Plant (STPP) near Jaipur in Mancherial district to help the power generation efficiency.
