Chandrapur Thermal Power Station is a 2,920-megawatt (MW) power station in Maharashtra, India.
Contents
Location
The map below shows the location of the plant, approximately six kilometers from the city of Chandrapur.[1]
Background
The power station is owned by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (MSPGCL), a Maharashtra government owned company.[2]
The original power station comprised Units 1-4 (210MW each) and units 5-7 (500MW each).[2]
Units 1-2 were retired in 2016, after units 8-9 went online.[3]
Unit 8-9 Expansion
In 2014 a 1000MW expansion of the plant was underway with the addition of 2 x 500MW units (units 8-9).[4] Units 8 & 9 were expected to be commissioned by June 2014 and January 2015 respectively,[5] later pushed to November 2014 for unit 8 and March 2015 for unit 9.[6]
Unit 8 was synchronized in January 2015 and planned for commissioning in March 2015.[7] Unit 8 completed a trial run in May 2015.[8]
According to the India Ministry of Power, Unit 9 is planned for June 2015,[9] later pushed to January 2016.[10] It was commissioned in March 2016.[11]
Coal supply
In April 2015 Western Coalfields Limited agreed to supply coal to the new Chandrapur unit 8 on a temporary basis until it gets a permanent linkage. Of the six recently commissioned units by Mahagenco, there is no permanent linkage for five of them, as Mahagenco's captive mines in Odisha - Machchhakatta and Mahanadi - have been de-allocated following the orders of Supreme Court.[12]
