India, Jharkhand, Godda: Adani Power Ltd (APL) has announced the commissioning of the first unit of its 2×800-MW thermal power plant at Godda in Jharkhand.
The newly commissioned unit has begun supplies worth 748 MW to neighbouring Bangladesh. A release by Adani Power observed that electricity supplied from Godda will replace expensive power generated from liquid fuel, bringing down the average cost of power purchased for Bangladesh.
“The Godda power plant is a strategic asset in India-Bangladesh’s long-standing relationship. It will ease the power supply in Bangladesh, making its industries and ecosystem more competitive. It is going to be the most efficient and environment-friendly thermal power plant installed in India and the entire South-East region and also one of the best in class in the world. It is the first power plant in the country, which has started its operations from day one with 100 per cent flue gas desulphurization (FGD), SCR and Zero Water Discharge,” noted S.B. Khyalia, CEO of Adani Power.
