BHARAT Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has commissioned 3,548 MW of generation capacity during 2004-05 and plans to add another 3,712 MW of capacity during the current fiscal, a company release said here today.
BHEL has achieved 110 per cent of the target set by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) for last fiscal by commissioning 3,548 MW of generation capacity, the release said. The excess addition was due to the advance commissioning of a 500-MW unit at Rihand power plant, which was not in CEA's plan for last year, it said.
The company said 90 per cent of coal-based generating sets added in the country during the year were of BHEL make, while 80 per cent of hydro addition and 79 per cent of diesel-based addition was contributed by BHEL sets. The PSU said 73 per cent of electricity generated by utilities in the country from coal, hydro and nuclear units was contributed by BHEL sets, even though they contribute only 65 per cent of the total installed capacity. During the year, BHEL commissioned a 500-MW unit at NTPC's Ramagundam plant in a record time of 36 months and 10 days, about three months ahead of schedule.
