Ganga Power & Natural Resources of Adhunik Group has signed an MoU with Bihar State Electricity Board (BSEB) for setting up a 1320 MW super critical thermal power project at Pirpainty in Bhagalpur district. The power project has qualified for long term coal linkage. The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) has sent a recommendation to the coal ministry for 6.9 million metric tonnes of coal per annum (MTPA) to the project. Bihar government has allotted 60 million cubic meter of water for this plant. A no-objection certificate has already been received from the Central Water Commission. For environment clearance, a project report has been sent to the Bihar State Pollution Control Board. The public hearing is expected by the month-end, said an official.
An application has been submitted to the department of industries for acquisition of 900 acres of land spread over Jairambandhu, Rajganj, Govindpur, Laxmipur, Hiranand and Roshanpur villages in Pirpainty.
The power project is expected to be commissioned in December 2014.
