Contents
Location
The undated satellite photo below shows the Paloncha power station. Units 1 and 2 are located to the north, and Unit 3 is about one km to the south.
Background
Paloncha power station Unit 1 was built in 1996 with a capacity of 50 MW. The plant supplies a ferro-alloys plant, with surplus power sold to the grid.[1] In 2000, a fire at the plant reduced capacity to 30 MW. In 2006, the company added unit 2, with 64 MW.[2]
Details of expansion
In April 2011, the company announced that it intended to build an additional 150 MW unit at the same location by December 2012, and a second 150 MW expansion unit if coal linkages could be secured.[3]
The first 150 MW addition (Unit 3) was commissioned and synchronized with the state power grid on Feb 28, 2013.[4] Unit 3 is located approximately 1 km south of the older plant.
As of 2016 the proposed unit 4 is not mentioned on Nava Bharat Ventures' website and no permits have been received.
