Singur hydro power project generates 14.41MU this year

Most of the power was generated during September and October

Sangareddy: The Singur Hydroelectric project has generated 14.41 million units of power this year (2024-2025) beginning on April 1. Most of the power was generated during September and October.

While the TG Genco generated 7.27 MU in September, it generated 5.7 MU until October 17. The project had two 7.5 MW capacity hydropower units which were installed after the project was constructed across River Manjeera at Singur village in Pulkal mandal in 1998.

Since the hydropower units were commissioned, Genco has generated more power only four times than what it managed this year. Two years ago, Genco generated a record-breaking 30 MU in 2022-23.

Before that, the 25.68 MU generation in 2010-11 was the highest ever. The Genco could generate more than 20 MU only three times in the 26 years of the project’s history.

Since Singur was receiving constant inflows from upstream, the hydroelectric project is still operational. Officials were expecting power generation to cross 20 MU by March 30, 2025.

The power generated here is connected to 132 KV substations located at Sadasivapet and Jogipet towns. The Singur multipurpose project was receiving 3,225 cusecs of water from upstream on Friday while Genco was releasing 2,725 cusecs of water downstream river course operating both units.

Chief Engineer V Ramesh Babu said this was among the most fruitful years for Genco since the project was commissioned.
