Meenakshi Energy Limited, a subsidiary of Vedanta Limited, has commissioned its 1,000 MW thermal power plant in Andhra Pradesh with the synchronisation of two 350 MW units this month.
The facility, comprising two 350 MW and two 150 MW units, was acquired by Vedanta in 2023. The two 150 MW units were stabilised earlier this year, followed by the recent commissioning of the larger units, restoring the plant to full capacity. The project uses 100 per cent saline water for its operations, eliminating reliance on freshwater resources. The company has also deployed a water recovery system from its ash dyke and undertaken the removal of legacy ash waste.
