Bander power station, also known as Thermal Powertech power station and Pynampuram (Painampuram) power station, is a 1,320-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Andhra Pradesh, India. Plans for an additional 660 MW unit appear to be shelved.

Bander power station and the Muthukur Mandal power station (Painampuram) are together known as the Sembcorp Gayatri Power Complex.^[1]^[2]

Background

Bander power station is a proposed coal-fired power station in Andhra Pradesh by Thermal Powertech Corporation. Phase I (2 units of 660 MW) and II (one unit of 660 MW) received an environmental permit in 2009.^[3]

Unit 1 of Thermal Powertech Corporation India went into commercial operation in April 2015, and unit 2 in September 2015.^[4]^[5]

As of October 2015 unit 3 (660 MW) was still planned for construction.^[6] However, as of June 2019 the unit has still not begun construction, and appears to be abandoned.

Coal Source

Imported coal will be transported by ship to Krishnapatnam Port. Indigenous coal will be brought by rail from Ib Valley/Talcher to Paradip/ Dhamra Port and then transported by sea to Krishnapatnam Port.^[7]
