Sugar Industries are self sufficient in their requirement of electric power, water, steam, fuel, etc., and does not make use of other conventional sources of fuels. By producing steam at high pressures and using more efficient turbines, sugar plants can produce electricity in excess of their own requirements. The world over, co-generation has been recognized as a reliable way of generation of electricity. Considering the thrust given by the Government of India, realizing the potential available for Co-generation plants and their contribution, K.C.P. Sugar and industries corporation limited, had installed 15 M.W and 5 M.W Co-generation plants in its Sugar units at Vuyyuru and Lakshmipuram, Krishna District, Andhra Pradesh respectively in the year 2005. Surplus power generated in these Co-generation plants are being exported to the APTRANSCO grid.
