Feedback - Executive Engineer UPRVUNL Employee Review

Great working environment. You can get practical exposure in power generation.

Interns are not paid. Located in remote areas.

UPRVUNL is wholly owned state thermal power utility with present generating capacity of 4933 MW, operating 5 Thermal Power Stations within Uttar Pradesh. Poised to contribute in the growth of state, we're in the process of adding further 1000 MW capacity to our existing fleet by year 2014. Uttar Pradesh Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (UPRVUNL) was constituted on dated 25.08.1980 under the Companies' Act 1956 for construction of new thermal power projects in the state sector. The first Thermal Power Station constructed by UPRVUNL was Unchahar Thermal Power Station of 2X210 MW capacity and it was transferred to NTPC on dated 13.02.1992. On dated 14.01.2000, in accordance to U.P. State Electricity Reforms Acts 1999 and operation of U.P. Electricity Reforms Transfer Scheme 2000, U.P. State Electricity Board, till then responsible for generation, transmission and distribution of power within the state of Uttar Pradesh, was unbundled and operations of the state sector thermal power stations were handed over to UPRVUNL.

Being a government organisation, the work culture is a bit too relaxed. Decision making takes lot of time as layered procedures are involved
