Kothagudem: The 800 MW phase- VII unit of Kothagudem Thermal Power Station (KTPS) located at Paloncha in Bhadradri Kothagudem district has been commissioned for commercial production.
The super critical thermal power unit has reached its full capacity generation and commercial operation date (COD) on Wednesday, informed the TSTRANSCO and TSGENCO chairman and managing director (CMD) D Prabhakar Rao.
