Background
Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station is a 1600 MW coal plant under construction in Andhra Pradhesh state, India. The project will use Supercritical boilers. It is sponsored by Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO) and is categorized as a Mega Power Project, enabling to proceed on a fast-track basis. It is designed for a mixture of 70% domestic coal and 30% imported coal. Sea water will be used for cooling. Krishnapatnam Port (5 km) will be used for importing coal.[1]
Expansion from 1600 MW to 4000 MW Cancelled
The government halted plans for APGenco to expand its Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Station at Krishnapatnam in Nellore district, Andhra Pradesh. The plant size was expected to increase in size from 1,600 MW to 4,000 MW, cleared by government officials July 17, 2008. The government instead reallocated the land to Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) for onward transfer to Thermal Powertech Corporation. "It looks as though the state government came under sudden political pressure on behalf of Powertech because of which the expansion plans of a great performer like Genco was thrown to the winds and the land given to the private company," former Union power secretary E A S Sarma told the Times of India. Thermal Powertech had initially been allotted land in Machilipatnam in a prohibited coastal regulatory zone (CRZ) for its thermal plant. However, environmentalists were alarmed that the proposed site was a breeding ground for rare birds. In response, the government denied environmental clearance for the site. The land was reallocated to APIIC just weeks after the environmental clearance for the Thermal Powertech Corporation's Machilipatnam plant.[2]
