Coal consumption has changed due to non-conventional power plant in Vizag steel plant

Visakhapatnam, Apr 22 (UNI) Union Steel minister Chaudhary Birender Singh today said there was a perceptual change in the consumption of coal because of the setting up of more non-conventional power plants in the country.

"Around 1 lakh MW of power is being generated in the country from non-conventional energy sources and that around 3 lakh applications were received for setting up of solar wind power plants in the country.

"More non-conventional power plants in the country are using wind energy, solar energy are being set up," the minister said after dedicating to the nation, the most eco-friendly 120 MW gas based power plant in Visakhapatnam Steel Plant (VSP) here.

He underlined the need to be self-sufficient in power generation and said the shore based Rashtriya Ispat Nigam Limited (RINL), the corporate entity of VSP has rightly proved its progress in that direction.


Mr Singh advised RINL to take advantage of the opportunity of huge usage of steel for the construction of new capital Amaravati and other projects in Andhra Pradesh.

He also said RINL is inching towards achieving international standards of efficiency and exhorted them to work relentlessly towards this end.

RINL Chairman and Managing Director P Madhusudan said latest technologies and green initiatives were implemented in setting up of the power plant.
