NAGARKURNOOL : Authorities are prepared to resume electricity generation at the Srisailam Left Bank Hydroelectric Power Station (SLBHP). After nine employees were killed in a major fire accident that took place  an underground powerhouse in the power station on August 20, units four and six were damaged. There were a total of six units in the  power station. 

Although authorities prepared units one and two for electricity generation, a trial run was conducted only for the second unit on Friday. The turbine spin was carried out at a speed of 100 RCM for about half an hour without any interruption. The plant is now ready to resume operations soon.
