The NTPC Talcher Kaniha is strategically moving ahead with long-term fuel security plan to fulfil its coal requirement for its 3,000-MW coal station.
The station has a Fuel Supply Agreement with MCL and ECL as a long-term coal plan. In addition, in order to ease the operation of the station caused due to coal crisis and inadequate coal supply and incurred generation loss, the NTPC Talcher Kaniha is taking strategic steps.
The station has now successfully finalised two alternate sources of coal for the plant and has started coal lifting from the Bhubaneswari and Dulanga mines from December 30.
Coal from Bhubaneswari mines will be transported to the newly constructed Lingaraj-3 siding which is dedicated to NTPC from where transportation through rake will be made to the NTPC Kaniha.
In addition, the NTPC’s own coal block, Dulanga mines will supply coal to Talcher Kaniha through road-cum-rail mode in a sustainable manner. Both coal sources are a boon to the Kaniha station in improving the plant generation and ensuring uninterrupted efficient power supply to its stakeholders.
