SW: add details on expansion plans
JPL was the first private sector company to build one of the 'ultra mega' projects, the 1000 megawatt coal-fired Raigarh, Chhattisgarh. The project began operation in December 2007. The company states that the "fuel supply of the plant is met through its captive coal mines. A 6.9 km conveyor pipeline has been set up for transportation of coal between the mines and the plant. The Company has constructed a 258 km, 400 KV Double Circuit transmission line from the plant to the PGCIL sub-station at Raipur through which power can be sold anywhere in India. For meeting the plant’s consumptive water requirement, an 18 m high dam over the Kurket River has been built, 25 km away from the project site."<ref name="JP ABout"/>
