CEA Approves 50 MW Power Allocation for Kudankulam Units 3 & 4

29 Oct 2025 CW Team

The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has approved the allocation of 50 MW of power from Kudankulam Unit 1 to support the commissioning of Units 3 and 4. This power will be used during the start-up phase of the new reactors.

The Southern Regional Power Committee (SRPC) issued the directive, which will allow the Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) to proceed with the commissioning activities for the two units, located in Tamil Nadu. The approval follows the guidelines of the Indian Electricity Grid Code (IEGC).

NPCIL has made substantial progress on Units 3 and 4, with key milestones such as the completion of the inner containment dome and main coolant pipeline in Unit 3. The power allocation from Unit 1 will help facilitate the testing and operationalisation of the reactors.

This marks a significant step toward increasing India’s nuclear power generation capacity, with Units 3 and 4 expected to contribute up to 2,000 MW to the national grid once operational.
