Singareni Thermal Power Plant bags lowest water consumption Award: Congratulation by CMD N. Balaram

The Singareni Thermal Power Station at Jaipur in Manchiryala district has received a rare award for being the best unit in water efficiency at the national level. Singareni Thermal Power Plant was conferred the Best National Water Efficient Unit Award by the guests at the second National Best Thermal Plants award ceremony organized by the prestigious Council of Enviro Excellence in New Delhi on Thursday night.

Chairman and MD Mr. N. Balaram, Director (E&M) Mr. D. said that Singareni Thermal Power Plant has achieved this award among about 150 public and private sector power stations with a capacity of more than 500 MW at the national level. Satyanarayana Rao expressed joy.

Generally, the Central Electricity Authority recommends a maximum consumption of three cubic meters of water for generating one megawatt of electricity per hour in thermal power plants. Generally thermal power plants have water consumption exceeding this standard.

However, due to the special measures taken by the Singareni Thermal Power Station and the technology used, it consumes only 2.8 cubic meters of water which is less than the prescribed standards for the production of megawatt electricity in an hour. With this, the award was won at the national level. The same plant has received this kind of awards many times in the past.
