The proposed capacity of plant is 1600 MW. The project is under construction and likely to be completed by the end of 2014. The Power station is designed for blended coal in the ratio of 70% washed domestic coal from [[Talcher Coalfield]] to 30% imported coal. Sea water is proposed for cooling purpose and potable water by desalination. Krishnapatnam port (about 5&nbsp;km from site) will cater to the requirement of importing heavy machinery and both domestic & imported coal of 3.5 and 1.5 million tons per annum respectively. EPC contract for the main plant has been awarded to [[Bharat Heavy Electricals|BHEL]], [[Larsen & Toubro|L&T]] and [[Tata Projects]] Limited during July 2008 and for BOP during February 2009. The estimated complete cost of project is about Rs 8432/- Crores. The Debt & Equity ratio is 80:20 and Project is being financed by PFC and KfW, Germany.<ref>{{cite news |title=Nelatur power plant 1st unit to be ready by 2013 |url=http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-andhrapradesh/article2877294.ece |work=[[The Hindu]] |date=10 February 2012 |accessdate=4 September 2012 }}</ref>
