GODDA, JHARKHAND: Adani Power, a part of the diversified Adani Group, has commissioned its first 800 mw ultra-super-critical thermal power generation unit here and begun supplying 748 mw of power to Bangladesh.
The electricity supplied from Godda will significantly improve power situation in the neighbouring country as it will replace expensive electricity generated from liquid fuel, bringing down the average cost of energy purchased. Cheaper will play a crucial role in making Bangladesh’s industry more competitive.
“The Godda Power Plant is a strategic asset in the India-Bangladesh’s long-standing relationship,” said SB Khyalia, CEO, Adani Power. “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 entire Southeast region and also one of the best-in-class in the world,” he said.
In November 2017, Bangladesh Power Development Board had executed a long-term power purchase agreement with APL subsidiary Adani Power Jharkhand to procure 1,496 mw net capacity power from 2X800 mw power project at Godda.
