Background
Kothagudem Thermal Power Station is located at Paloncha in Andhra Pradesh, India. The power plant has an installed capacity of 1680 MW with 11 units under operation.[1] It is one of the six thermal power stations of Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO).[2]
The plant has been divided into six stages. According to the India Central Electricity Authority, the last unit of the plant (U-11 of 500 MW) was "commissioned successfully (Full load)" on June 26, 2011.[3][4]
Proposed 800 MW expansion
In January 2012, it was reported that the Andhra Pradesh government has decided to utilise the vacant space at three existing coal plants to generate an additional 2,400 MW of power. The three plants are Vijayawada Thermal Power Station, the Krishnapatnam power station, and the Kothagudem Thermal Power Station, each of which would add 800 MW.[5]
