Published on: 

Reliance Power plans to double capacity of its Rosa and Butibori thermal power plants and will set up a 400 MW solar plant in the coming years, the company’s Chairman Anil Ambani said on Tuesday.

Addressing RPower’s 22nd AGM, he said it will double the capacity of its Rosa and Butibori power plants to 2400 MW and 1200 MW respectively. The company will also set up Solar PV plant of 300 to 400 MW in the coming years as part of its capacity expansion programme, he said. “We look at future opportunities with great caution. We will not expand just for the heck of it.” He however did not share the investments to be made in the expansions. “In the near future, we will expand the capacity of our 2 existing thermal plants at Rosa in UP and Butibori in Maharashtra from the existing 1200 MW and 600 MW respectively,” he said.
