{{#badges: CoalSwarm|Navbar-Indiacoal}} Parli Thermal Power Station is a 1,170-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station owned by Maharashtra State Power Generation Company (MSPGCL), a Maharashtra government owned company in India.[1]
Contents
Location of old plant
The original plant (units 1-5) is located on the north side of Parli-Vaijnath, Beed district, Maharashtra state.
Location of plant expansion
The plant expansion (units 6-8) is located about 5 kilometers north of the old plant.
Background on units 1-5
The first five units were built from 1971 through 1987 on the north side of Parli-Vaijnath. Units 1-2 (30 MW each) were built 1971-1972 and retired in 2010. Units 3-5 are 210 MW each, and were completed from 1982 to 1987.[1] Unit 3 was retired in 2016.[2]
Units 6-8 expansion
The expansion of the plant began in 2007 with the addition of Unit 6 (250 MW). Unit 7 (250 MW) was completed in 2010.[3]
Unit 8 (250 MW) began construction in 2009,[3][4][5] and is projected for commissioning in October 2015.[6][7]
However, in October 2015 MahaGenco said it would defer commissioning of the new unit until the next monsoon season in mid-2016, due to water shortages.[8]
Unit 8 was commissioned in March 2016.[9]
Plant shuts after water crisis
In February 2013, the plant was shut down because of a severe water shortage in the Marathwada region. The plant normally receives water from the Khadka dam but the supply was stopped when the reservoir behind the dam nearly dried up.[10]
In October 2015 it was reported that five units at the Parli power station had been closed since July 2015 due to a lack of water.[8]
