Reliance Power Ltd., or RPower, announced that Boiler Light Up has been achieved for its first 660 MW unit at the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Plant or UMPP and the unit is expected to be commissioned five months ahead of schedule.
The Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project is the largest integrated power plant and coal mining project in India with an estimated investment of over Rs.20,000 crore. A super-critical unit has more efficiency and produces cleaner electricity through lower emissions.
As announced earlier, coal production already commenced from the 20 million tonnes Moher and Moher-Amlohri coal mines. Thus, both the power plant and coal mines would be ready for operations well ahead of schedule. The plant has also been connected to the National Grid by 400kV transmission lines of Power Grid Corporation Ltd.
At the BSE, Reliance Power shares are currently trading at Rs.102.95, up 0.10 percent from the previous close.
