Organization Information Engineering
Rayalaseema Thermal Power Project is a 1050MW coal plant in Muddanur, Cuddapah, district, Andhra Pradesh, India, operated by
Andhra Pradesh Power Generation Corporation (APGENCO). It comprises 5 units, each 210 MW, built between 1994 and 2010.
Rayalaseema Thermal Power Plant was developed under 3 stages namely stages I, II and III. It stood first in-country during 98-99,
2002–03, 2003–04 and second during 99-2000, 2001-02. The station has received Meritorious productivity awards for six consecutive
years and an Incentive award for seven consecutive years. BHEL commissioned stage IV unit 1x600MW in March 2018 leading to a
total installed capacity of RTPP to 1650MW.
