Bhubaneswar: Adani Power set up the 1,600 MW thermal power in Jharkhand’s Godda to supply power generated to Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) through a dedicated transmission line.
Last month, Adani Power said its Godda Plant had become fully operational.
Adani Power Jharkhand Limited (APJL), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Power Limited, achieved commercial operations date (COD) of its second unit of its 2 x 800 MW Godda Ultra super critical thermal power plant (Godda USCTPP) on June 26 at Godda district in Jharkhand, the company said in a statement.
The reliability run rest, including commercial operation tests of the second unit of Godda power plant, was completed on June 25 in the presence of BPDB and Power Grid Corporation of Bangladesh (PGCB) officials, the statement added.
The first unit of the power plant, with 800 MW capacity, achieved its COD in April this year.
Power supply from Godda USCTPP to Bangladesh’s grid will further enhance energy security in Bangladesh, the company had said.
Adani had met Hasina during her visit to India in September last year.
