Sterlite braces for 600 MW

Sterlite Energy, which is setting up a 2,400 MW power plant near Jharsuguda in Orissa with Independent Power Producer (IPP) status, is all set to commission its second unit of 600 MW by the end of December this year. The project, when fully operational, will have four units of 600 MW each. Of these, the first unit was commissioned in August last year and the third unit is expected to be commissioned in 2012. Also, three more IPPs will go on stream next year, after which the state will be in a comfortable position in the power sector.Contact: Sterlite Energy.E-mail: communications@vedanta.co.inWebsite: www.sterliteenergy.co.in
