Uttar Pradesh government approved 800 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power projects in Sonbhadra district in partnership with NTPC.
Each thermal power project will have a capacity of 800 MW, resulting in an increase in the combined capacity of Uttar Pradesh by 1,600 MW.
Use of ultra-supercritical technology: The “Obra D” thermal power projects will use ultra-supercritical technology, operating at high temperature and pressure, to achieve high efficiency and reduce coal consumption for power generation.
Contribution to power generation capacity: These projects are expected to contribute about 25% of Uttar Pradesh’s current thermal power generation capacity, which is around 7,000MW.
The Chairman and Managing Director of National Thermal Power Corporation is Gurdeep Singh.
