BHEl bags Rs 450 crore World Bank-funded renovation and modernisation contract for 210 MW thermal unit at Koradi TPS
In the face of stiff competition under International Competitive Bidding (ICB), Bharat Heavy Electricals limited (BHEl) has won a prestigious order for the Energy Efficient Renovation and Modernisation (EE R&M) of a 210 MW thermal unit in Maharashtra.
The World Bank-funded contract has been placed on BHEl by the Maharashtra State Power Generation Corporation limited (MSPGCl). The order envisages design, supply and installation for the EER&M of the 1x210 MW Boiler, turbine and generator package for the 210 MW Unit 6 at Koradi Thermal Power Station (TPS).
With this order, BHEl has made an entry into the energy efficient renovation, modernisation and uprating business. BHEl’s scope of work in the current contract involves design, engineering, manufacture, supply and erection and commissioning of critical parts of the boiler, turbine and generator, along with their controls and instrumentation. The order also envisages uprating of the unit.
The successful EE R&M of the unit will lead to enhancement in the rated capacity of the unit with a substantial improvement in the Plant load Factor (PlF). The unit efficiency will also increase due to a reduced heat rate and auxiliary power consumption. Major equipment for the above contract will be manufactured and supplied by BHEl’s plants at Trichy, Ranipet, Haridwar, Hyderabad and Bengaluru.
