The GMR Group has commissioned the second 350 MW coal-based thermal power plant at Kamalanga in Odisha’s Dhenkanal district on Tuesday.
The first unit of 350 MW was declared operational on April 30, 2013. With this, the combined generation capacity of the GMR Group has reached 1836 MW.
The infrastructure major is establishing the 4x350 MW GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited (GKEL) in two phases of 3x350 MW and 1x350 MW, respectively. Work on commissioning the third unit of 350 MW in the first phase is in advanced stages and is likely to be completed by August 2013. GKEL would supply power to Odisha, Bihar, Haryana and other parts of the country.
GKEL President R.V. Sheshan, in a statement said, “GKEL is one of the earliest private power projects to commence commercial operation in Odisha. The fuel for the project will be supplied by Mahanadi Coalfields Limited and captive coal mine (Rampia) allocated by Government of India. After commissioning all the three units of 350 MW each in the first phase, we will begin work on the second and final phase of the project.”
