Reliance Power achieves Boiler light up for first 660MW unit at Sasan UMPP

19 Oct 2012 Evaluate

Reliance Power has achieved the Boiler light up for its first 660MW unit at the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP). This is a critical milestone of the boiler commissioning activities for the unit. The Boiler light up was achieved in a record time of just 15 months and the unit is expected to be commissioned five months ahead of schedule.

This would also be the first integrated coal mine and super-critical power plant to be commissioned in India. A super-critical unit has more efficiency and produces cleaner electricity through lower emissions. The Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project is the largest integrated power plant and coal mining project in India with an estimated investment of over Rs 20,000 crore.

Besides, the coal production had already commenced from the 20 million tonne Moher and Moher-Amlohri coal mines. Thus, both the power plant and coal mines would be ready for operations well ahead of schedule. The plant has also been connected to the National Grid by 400 KV transmission lines of Power Grid Corporation.

Reliance Power is a part of the Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani Group and is established to develop, construct and operate power projects domestically and internationally.
