Chennai: Public sector power equipment maker Bhel has bagged an order for setting up the 1,980-mw Prayagraj Thermal Power Project (three units of 600 mw each) with supercritical parameters in Uttar Pradesh. Valued at Rs 5,600 crore, the order for the greenfield project, located at Bara in Allahabad district, has been placed by Prayagraj Power Generation Company (PPGCL), a firm owned by Jaiprakash Associates. Jaiprakash Associates, a company under Jaiprakash Group, has bagged this project from the UP government under tariff-based bidding and subsequently acquired PPGCL, the company formed by the state government for the purpose.
Bhel's scope of work in the present contract envisages design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of steam turbines, generators and boilers, along with associated auxiliaries, besides state-of-the-art control and instrumentation.
The supercritical technology ensures lower coal consumption, minimum emission and eco-friendly and efficient power generation. Bhel has been promoting joint venture companies to build, own and operate supercritical thermal power plants in association with state utilities like TNEB, KPCL and Mahagenco.
