Gulbarga power station

{{#Badges:CoalSwarm|navbar-Indiacoal}}Gulbarga power station is a proposed 1320 megawatt (MW) coal plant in Karnataka state, India, sponsed by Power Company of Karnataka (PCKL). The project is located about 12 km from Jewargi, 30 km from Gulbarga, and 8 km from Fartehabad. Land has been acquired. The site is across the road from Firozabad, about one km from Dargah. Water will be obtained from the Krishna River. PCKL is applying for coal linkage. The Standing Linkage Committee (Long Term) of the Ministry of Coal met on April 18th, 2011, but did not consider any of the 12th Plan Projects due to the no-go restriction by the Ministry of Environment and Forests. The company notes: "In view of the inordinate delay by MOC in providing the coal linkage it was not possible to proceed beyond the RFQ stage. In the absence of any assurance regarding coal for this project in the near future, it is decided under orders of Government that RFPs may be called giving the option for the bidder to quote for 100% imported coal or domestic coal or blend of both. Fuel cost will not be a pass through. Instead, they will be asked to bid on the basis of levelized tariff as in the case of Ultra mega Power Projects." A public hearing was held on the project on July 23, 2010. Application for final clearance was filed with Ministry of Environment and Forests on October 25, 2010.
