The third 500 MW unit of NTPC’s Vallur Thermal Power Plant will soon commence commercial operation. Tamilnadu’s share from this plant will be around 358 MW.
The third unit has completed the mandatory 72 hours continuous full capacity operation between December 7 and 10 for achieving commercial operation declaration.
However, the declaration of commercial operation was delayed due to breakdown of a coal conveyor and commissioning of the additional coal grab system in the Ennore port to unload coal from the ships.
The three units of Vallur, which is a joint venture of the NTPC and Tangedco, together will supply 1074 MW out of its total capacity of 1,500 MW. The first and second unit is already under commercial operation since November 2012 and August 2013.
After obtaining the mandatory environmental clearance for the project, the first unit of the 2X500 MW NLC Tamil Nadu Power Limited (NTPL), a joint venture of the Tangedco and the NLC, has been test synchronised with the grid on February 18.
