Tata Power through its joint venture company Industrial Energy limited (IEl), has synchronised the second 67.5 MW Unit of its 3 x 67.5 MW IEl Kalinganagar project. This development comes a week after the synchronisation of the project’s 67.5 MW Unit 1. With this, Tata Power’s total generation capacity has increased to 9,100 MW from the previous 9,036 MW.
The IEl Kalinganagar project is the 3rd unit of IEl after two operating units of 120 MW (unit 5 & PH #6, Jamshedpur) based on the mixture of BFG, COG, and lDG, which is environment friendly and efficient.
Speaking on this milestone, Anil Sardana, CEO & managing director, Tata Power, said, “It is indeed an honour to announce the successful synchronisation of the 2nd unit of the 202.5 MW IEl Kalinganagar-Orissa project. The technology used for the project is environment friendly and helps cut down the greenhouse gas emissions as compared to regular coal-fired power stations. We remain committed to end-goal of supplying clean and affordable power. Also, it reaffirms our position as largest integrated power company in India. Tata Power has crossed 9,100 MW in generation, has 2.2 Million customers in retail distribution and 3 coal mines for security of fuel.”
