The Andhra Pradesh state government has sought coal linkages for three power projects of AP Genco, including the mega 5x800 MW coal-fired power project planned at Vodarevu. It has sought early clearance for linkage for the 600-MW Sattupally thermal power station of AP Genco. Last month the coal ministry had recommended the case for linkage to the power ministry as a XI Plan project but the Standing Linkage Committee for power rejected the case. However, the power ministry has again taken up the matter for consideration and the state is hopeful of it getting cleared this time.
The AP Genco projects are at advanced stage and once linkage is provided, the Sattupally project can be commissioned by October 2011, the integrated gasification project by August 2011 and the first unit of 800 MW can be commissioned by 2013-14.
