Jagan Mohan Reddy inaugurates the 800-MW third unit of the Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Plant in Nellore district

Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Jagan Mohan Reddy on Thursday asserted that his government would ensure quality power to all, including domestic and industrial consumers.

Inaugurating the 800-MW third unit of the Damodaram Sanjeevaiah Thermal Power Plant at Nellaturu, near here, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said the first-of-its-kind project using supercritical technology was a mission accomplished by his government.

It was former Chief Minister of united Andhra Pradesh Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy who had laid the foundation stone for the project with a lot of foresight to put in place the much-needed power infrastructure to ensure speedier industrialisation of the State, Mr. Jagan Mohan Reddy said.

“By God’s grace, the project has come to fruition now,’ the Chief Minister said amid cheers from the assembled gathering.

The plant, named after the first Dalit Chief Minister, would generate power using supercritical technology, which meant more efficient use of coal and less pollution, the Chief Minister explained, adding, with this, 45% of power was being generated in the public sector. It would add 19 MU of power to the power grid, he added.
