Singareni Collieries Company Limited (SCCL) is planning a pumped storage hydro-electric project at Jawahar Khani open cast project in Yellandu mandal. This initiative is part of SCCL’s efforts to integrate renewable energy sources like floating solar power plants and small hydropower in coal mining regions. Additionally, plans include a 200 MW geo-thermal power station in Manuguru, tapping hot water springs. A recent meeting at SCCL’s Kothagudem office discussed a pre-feasibility report for the proposed pumped storage project.
