Hyderabad: GMR Chhattisgarh Energy Limited (GCEL), a part of GMR Group, on Tuesday said it had synchronized first 685 MW unit of its 1370 MW thermal power plant with the grind last week.
Located Raikheda in Chhattisgarh’s Raipur district, the power plant is the GMR Group’s first supercritical coal-based thermal power generating facility. The new unit used fuel oil to achieve this first synchronization. The project has been implemented on multiple packages concept by Doosan of Korea. Work on commissioning GCEL’s second unit of 685 MW is in progress.
“The GCEL plant incorporates advanced supercritical technologies that optimize fuel and water usage and support our commitment to environmental sustainability,” said G M Rao, Chairman, GMR Group.
The group had signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Chhattisgarh for the power plant in 2008 and received Environment Clearance and Consent to establish it in 2011.
Besides Chhattisgarh, GCEL will cater to the power needs of various states in the country. “GCEL is also making substantial efforts so that the quality of life of individuals residing in neighboring communities is enriched by its educational, health care, livelihood and grassroots infrastructure development focused CSR interventions”, Rao added. Since 2013, the GMR Group has commissioned two coal-based thermal power plants – the 600-MW EMCO Energy Limited at Warora in Maharashtra and three units (350 MW each) of the 1400-MW GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited at Kamlalanga in Odisha.
