NTPC's Green Initiatives in Visakhapatnam Power Station
Key Ideas
  • NTPC's Super Thermal Power Station in Visakhapatnam is set to commission all four units of the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant by August, enhancing eco-friendly measures in power plants.
  • The station is successfully generating 25 MW from a floating solar PV project in the raw water reservoir, with plans for further expansion, indicating a move towards renewable energy sources.
  • NTPC's Green Hydrogen Project at Pudimadaka, with a total investment of Rs.1.85 lakh crore, aims to produce 20 GW of renewable energy projects, 1500 TPD green hydrogen derivatives, contributing significantly to India's clean energy targets.
  • The project in Visakhapatnam signifies India's ambition to become a world leader in clean energy production, with plans for additional nuclear power plants and a strong focus on solar and wind energy.
NTPC's Super Thermal Power Station in Visakhapatnam, India, is making significant progress in eco-friendly initiatives. The station is on track to complete the installation of all four units of the flue gas desulphurisation (FGD) plant by August, which will reduce sulphur dioxide levels by 90 to 95%. Additionally, the station is actively involved in renewable energy projects, with successful generation of 25 MW from a floating solar PV project and plans for further expansion. Notably, NTPC is spearheading the Green Hydrogen Project at Pudimadaka, with a substantial investment of Rs.1.85 lakh crore, aimed at producing 20 GW of renewable energy projects and 1500 TPD green hydrogen derivatives. This initiative aligns with India's target of achieving 500 GW of non-fossil energy by 2030 and solidifies the country's position as a clean energy leader. The Green Hydrogen Hub in Visakhapatnam will mark a significant milestone in India's green energy journey. NTPC's plans for establishing nuclear power plants and emphasis on solar and wind energy showcase a holistic approach towards sustainable energy production.
