AP-Genco plans capital overhaul of Srisailam Right Bank Power House in phases

The Hindu  

The AP-Genco plans to undertake a capital overhaul of one of the seven units of the Srisailam Right Bank Power House of 110-MW capacity each. He said it was a matter of pride that the SRBPH had been running successfully for over four decades, and it achieved an all-time annual generation of 3,798 Million Units in 1993-94 when it catered to the combined State of Andhra Pradesh. Meanwhile, in an interaction during a recent visit to the plant by this correspondent, SRBPH Chief Engineer K. Sudheer Babu said, while the capital overhaul of a unit would normally take up to three months, it was targeted to finish it in about a month or so. After the left bank power house came into existence in 2001-02, the SRBPH’s highest generation of 2,190 MU was recorded in 2007-08.
