The project manager for the SPV made following comments at a press conferee on March 31, 2015:

As you all are aware, we were running bang on schedule till we last met on December 21, 2014. From today we are just left with one more year to complete the project in time. However, the flash floods which struck our dam site on this March 15, 2015 have created havoc in the region. I shall not point out the loss of lives in the region as you all are well aware of those. Our project has also been badly hit due to the same and we have been assessing the damage over the last one week. After analyzing damage, we have made changes in project schedule. Now we will be making only one unit of 150 MW operational on April 1, 2016 and 1 unit each will be added in each of subsequent year(s).

Stories from the certified

Charles Sirois
Canada
As this was my first certification exam, I was understandably nervous about what to expect. These study materials made the preparation process much easier, and many of the questions closely reflected those on the actual exam.
Lance Chambers
United States
Wasted about a month going through the free dump sites scattered all over reddit, half the answers were wrong and the other half were for a version of the exam that doesn't even exist anymore. Eventually gave in and paid the small fee here, and the difference was night and day.
Alisha Kelly
Italy
Honestly, I had already gone through the official documentation quite thoroughly, but still didn't feel fully confident going in. This helped things finally click for me. I realized I knew the material, but just hadn't connected all the pieces yet.
Casper Claassen
Netherlands
Used this along with Microsoft Learn and the combo worked really well. The practice questions made the stuff I'd read actually stick. Passed first attempt, no complaints from me.
Gabriele Ghesla
Italy
The content is accurate and clearly presented, and it's more affordable than competitors. The team has been incredibly responsive whenever I've had an issue, and they've been open to small changes that improve the platform.
