 The tail pond is under advanced stage of construction to put to use the pumped storage features of 7 x 100.8 MW units.Many times, it happens that power generation from the 150 MW canal based units is not optimised when the Nagarjunasagar reservoir is overflowing on its spillway and very less water is required for irrigation from the canals during the monsoon floods.Power generation from canal based hydro units can be optimised by running these units during the flooding period by releasing the water fully into the canals.
