APL's supercritical thermal unit to go on stream soon

NTPC and Adani Power (APL), are in the final leg of commissioning the country’s first supercritical units of 660 MW each in Chhattishgarh and Gujarat respectively. However, the China-made APL unit is likely to go on stream. The unit is expected to start trial generation in January 2011. APL is in agreement to supply the entire generation from the upcoming 660 MW unit to the Gujarat state distribution utility. According to a back-of-the-envelope calculation, Adani Power will save use of 500 tonne of coal a day for the 660 MW unit as against two units of 330 MW. Contact: Adani Power Ltd Tel: 079-2555 7134.
