Work on installing the stator units has commenced at the Polavaram Hydroelectric Project in Andhra Pradesh, marking a key milestone in the development of the dam's power generation capacity.
The Polavaram Hydroelectric Project, located in the Nallamala Hills of Andhra Pradesh, has entered a new phase with the commencement of stator installation work. Stator units are essential components of the turbines that convert mechanical energy into electrical power, and their installation is a critical step toward achieving the plant’s full generation capacity. The work is being carried out under the project’s scheduled timeline and is expected to proceed smoothly as the construction team follows the design specifications. Once completed, the new stators will enable the turbines to operate at optimal efficiency, contributing to the region’s growing electricity supply and supporting Andhra Pradesh’s renewable energy targets.
