The third 350 MW unit of the GMR Group’s coal-based thermal power plant at Kamalanga in Odisha’s Dhenkanal District was declared commercially operational with effect from March 25.
The first unit of 350 MW became commercially operational on April 30, 2013, and the second unit of 350 MW on November 12, 2013. With this, the combined generation capacity of the plant has reached 1050 MW and that of the GMR Group has touched 2485.6 MW.
GMR Group, the Bangalore-headquartered global infrastructure major with interests in Airports, Energy, Highways and Urban Infrastructure is establishing the 4x350 MW GMR Kamalanga Energy Limited (GKEL) in two phases of 3x350 MW and 1x350 MW, respectively. GKEL would supply power to Odisha, Bihar, Haryana and other parts of the country.
According to RV Sheshan, Managing Director, GKEL, “GKEL happens to be one of the largest investments made by the GMR Group in the Energy sector. It is also one of the earliest private power projects to commence commercial operation in Odisha. With commissioning of all the three units of 350 MW each, we have completed the first phase of the project. We will begin work on the second and final phase of the project very soon.”
