Singur Hydroelectric Project logs fourth highest generation of 20 million units
Since Singur has to release irrigation water downstream for Yasangi needs in Sangareddy and Medak, the project will be operational until April
Sangareddy: The Singur Hydroelectric Project generated 20 million units so far beginning April 1, 2024. Most of the power was generated during September and October.
While TG Genco generated 7.27 MU in September, it generated 5.7 MU until October 17. The project has 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, TG Genco has generated more power only three times than this year. Genco generated a record-breaking 30 MU in 2022-23. Until this year, the 25.68 MU generation in 2010-11 was the highest ever.
Genco could generate more than 20 MU only four times in the 27 years of the project history including this year.
Since Singur has to release irrigation water downstream for Yasangi needs in Sangareddy and Medak districts, the hydroelectric project will be operational until April. The officials are expecting the power generation to cross 21 MU this year by March 30. The power generated here is connected to 132 KV substations located in Sadasivapet and Jogipet towns.
TG Genco Chief Engineer, V Ramesh Babu said it was among the most fruitful years for Genco since the project was commissioned.
