Business Line reported that Reliance Power has synchronized the second of its two 300 MW units at its Butibori thermal power project near Nagpur in Maharashtra.
Power generated will be distributed to industrial and distribution utilities in the State. The first 300 MW units had achieved full load in August last year.
RPower said that with the commissioning of the second unit, the full 600 MW capacity of the plant will be available. The plant has been built at a cost of about INR 3,500 crore.
The company said that the power plant is among the most compact-sized thermal plants in the country with its 600 MW capacity requiring no more than 275 acres.
Further, the plant is environment friendly with zero effluent discharge. The entire ash generated by the plant will be utilized by Reliance group’s own cement plant.
Mr JP Chalasani CEO of Reliance Power said that “With this our operating capacity goes up to 1,840 MW. Reliance Power’s flagship project in Sasan is also progressing and we expect to commission the first 660 MW unit of the project soon.”
