Project-level coal details
- Coal source(s): Amelia and Dongrital Blocks
Background
The project is proposed by Jaiprakash Power Ventures (JP Power Ventures), a power generation subsidiary of the privately owned Jaypee Group. The Jaypee Group is a major Indian infrastructure company with interests in civil engineering and construction, cement, power, real estate, expressways, hospitality, golf courses and education.[1]
In August 2014, JSW Energy was in talks to buy JP Power's Nigrie and Bina thermal power units.[2]
Status
Environmental Clearance
The project received a letter of environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment & Forests on February 25, 2010. The letter is available here.
Construction
According to the Central Electricity Authority (September 2012), the project is under construction with Unit 1 projected for completion in June 2013 and Unit 2 in December 2013.[3]
Commissioning
The first unit was commissioned in July 2014. The second unit is expected to be commissioned in early 2015.[2] The second unit was commissioned in February 2015.[4]
Coal source
According to the website of JP Power Ventures, the Nigrie Thermal Project is expected to utilize coal from two captive coal blocks, the Amelia (North) and Dongri Tal II coal block, with total coal reserves of 250 MT of coal. JAL is expected to develop and mine the coal in a joint venture with MPSMCL. The joint venture has been allotted these two coal blocks solely for the purpose of supplying fuel to the Nigrie Thermal Project.[5]
