Mundra Thermal Power Station, Gujarat

Mundra Thermal Power Station is located at Mundra in Kutch district in the Indian state of Gujarat. The power plant is one of the coal-based power plants of Adani Power. The coal for the power plant is imported primarily from Bunyu, Indonesia. Source of water for the power plant is sea water from the Gulf of Kutch.

It is the world's 11th-largest single location coal-based thermal power plant as well as India's second largest operational power plant after NTPC Vindhyanchal.

Capacity

he boilers and generators for the first four units were supplied by Babcock & Wilcox and Beijing Beizhong respectively. SEPCO III, China was the EPC contractor for the last five 660MW units, which feature supercritical technology.

The boilers were supplied by Harbin Boiler and the turbine and generators were supplied by Dongfang Machinery.

The plant has nine power generating units, unit# 5 to 9 involves super-critical boiler technology.

In July 2012 Adani Power have requested Central Electricity Regulatory Commission to increase the power tariff due to increase in price of coal imported from Indonesia.

Power Evacuation

To help the state and region utilities evacuate electricity from the plant and into the grid, Adani Power had constructed two power lines. The 433 km, 400 KV transmission line to transmit 1000 MW from Mundra to Dehegam in Gujarat and the 989 km, 500 KV high voltate Direct current (HVDC) bipole line with the capacity to transmit 2500 MW from Mundra to mohindergarh in the northen state of Haryana. The latter is the first and longest HVDC system by a private player in India.
