The Tata Mundra power plant is a coal-fired power plant in India , which is located on the Arabian Sea near the city of Mundra in the state of Gujarat .
With an installed capacity of 4 GW it is one of the most powerful thermal power plants in India and serves to cover the base load . Tata Mundra is the first Ultra Mega Power Plant (UMPP) in India. A UMPP is a coal-fired power plant with a capacity of around 4 GW that uses supercritical technology ( English : supercritical : see supercritical water ).
The power plant is owned by Tata Power Company Ltd. but is operated by Coastal Gujarat Power Limited (CGPL), a subsidiary of Tata Power. The cost of Tata Mundra was $ 4.2 billion.
Power plant units
The power plant consists of five blocks, each with a maximum output of 800 MW. The boilers for the blocks were supplied by Doosan , the turbines and generators for them were supplied by Toshiba . The units went into operation one after the other in February, July and October 2012 and January and March 2013.
Connected to the power plant are seawater desalination systems that can treat 25,200 m³ of seawater per day. They use reverse osmosis for the desalination process.
environment
The power plant is held responsible for destroying the livelihoods of the local population.
Others
The power plant requires between 10 and 12 million tons of coal a year, which is delivered by ship from Indonesia to the coal port in Mundra operated by Adani Ports and Special Economic Zone Limited (APSEZ). Tata Power has invested in coal mines in Indonesia to ensure supplies.
However, the cost of imported coal has increased due to changes in Indonesian export guidelines, so that the power plant can no longer be operated profitably at the electricity price that was set at the time of the award. Tata Power originally offered a price of Rs 2.26 per kWh for the next 25 years in order to win the bid. Tata Power puts the additional costs at Rs 0.67 per kWh and is therefore in negotiations with the Central Electricity Regulatory Commission (CERC) to adjust the price.
Six 400 kV lines were built to connect the power plant to the Indian power grid. Tata Power has contracts with the states of Gujarat (1,805 MW), Punjab (475 MW), Rajasthan (380 MW), Maharashtra (760 MW) and Haryana (380 MW) to purchase the electricity.
In the immediate vicinity there is another coal-fired power plant, the Mundra power plant , which is operated by Adani Power .
