Hussain Sagar Thermal Power Station was a historic thermal power plant that was located in Hyderabad, Telangana on the banks of Hussain Sagar. It was India's first thermal power station, opened in 1920 by the erstwhile seventh Nizam of Hyderabad.[1] The power plant replaced the diesel generators of Hyderabad State Electricity Department that had been used in a limited way to supply electricity to houses and light the streetlights.
