Location
The map below shows Painampuram village, the approximate location where the plant would be built.
Background
Bander power station is a proposed coal-fired power station in Andhra Pradesh, to be developed in three phases by Thermal Powertech Corporation. Phase I (2 units of 660 MW) and II (one unit of 660 MW) received an environmental permit in 2009,[1] and Phase III (one unit of 660 MW) a terms of reference in 2010 for applying for one.[2]
As of 2014 Thermal Powertech Corporation's website only mentions the first phase (1320 MW). It appears that Phases II and III have been abandoned.[3]
Unit 1 is planned for operation in February 2015, and unit two in July 2015.[4]
