Tata Power today said the 4,000 MW Mundra project has generated 12,440 million units of electricity till March this year.
Located in Gujarat, Tata Power’s Mundra plant is the country’s first Ultra Mega Power Project (UMPP).
“The total generation from the plant till 31st March 2013 has touched 12,440 million units and going forward the plant is expected to contribute more than 26,000 million kWh to the beneficiary states annually,” the company said in a statement.
The project supplies electricity to five states — Gujarat, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Maharashtra.
Mundra UMPP is being implemented by Tata Power’s wholly-owned subsidiary Coastal Gujarat Power Ltd.
According to the statement, Mundra project helped in creating 5,000 construction jobs and 700 operations-oriented jobs.
The first 800 MW unit of the project was commissioned in March 2012.
“The average gap between synchronisation of two units has been 3.5 months, which is better than the baseline schedule of four months and is much better than the five months provided in original power purchase agreement,” the statement said.
