Tata Power has started commercial operations of another 120-MW unit at its coal-based power plant at Jojobera in Jamshedpur.
Commercial operations of the latest 120-MW unit at Jojobera — dubbed Unit 5 — began on March 27. Unit 5 has been running on a full load since March 16, the private sector power utility said in a statement today.
“With the addition of this unit, the total capacity of the Jojobera thermal power station is now 547.5 MW. This unit will supply power to Tata Steel Ltd to meet the increasing demand for power for the company’s Jamshedpur works,” Tata Power said.
The Tata Power Managing Director, Mr Anil Sardana, said commercial operations of Unit 5 at Jojobera marks a significant step toward augmentation of power supply to meet the requirement of Tata Steel.
The equipment suppliers for this project include BHEL, HAIL, TPL and MBPL. The Jojobera thermal power station has an installed capacity of 427.5 MW — Unit 1 of 67.5-MW capacity and Units 2, 3 and 4 of 120-MW capacity each.
“The 120-MW Unit 5 is an asset of Industrial Energy Ltd (IEL), a joint venture between Tata Power and Tata Steel, which was set up to develop new captive power projects to meet the power requirements of Tata Steel,” the statement said.
