Location
The power station is at Baneswar Chak near Jhikurkhali village.[1]
Background
The power station is proposed by Haldia Energy, a subsidiary of CESC. In April 2010, there was a report that the project was delayed due to difficulties acquiring a key parcel of land. In July, company officials told the press that the problems had been resolved.[2]
According to a compliance report for the period April 2011 - September 2011, the project had achieved financial closure as well as coal linkage from MCL.[3]
In July 2011, CESC Vice Chairman Sanjiv Goenka said that the project would enter construction in September 2011 and would be commissioned by the end of 2013-14.[4]
In February 2014 the company said the power station would be commissioned by December 2014.[5]
The two units were commissioned in January and February 2015, respectively.[6]
Phase II
In 2010 the company said it plans to eventually add a second phase of 1400 MW, bringing the total size of the plant to 2,000 MW. However, as of August 2014 this project appears to have been abandoned since there is no mention of such a plan on the company's website or on the CESC annual report.[2][7]
However, in August 2017 the company applied for a new 350 MW supercritical unit to be built at the power station. A terms of reference has yet to be granted.[8]
