300MW unit at Butibori plant in India gets commissioned

Reliance Power has commissioned the second 300MW unit at its Butibori power plant.

It is located at Nagpur in the Indian state of Maharashtra.

The company said synchronisation of the new unit was achieved simultaneously with coal firing of the unit on 2 January 2013.

Together with the first unit, which was commissioned in August 2012, the commissioning of the second unit will take the total generating capacity of the Butibori power plant to 600MW.

The electricity generated from the power plant will be distributed to industrial and distribution utilities in Maharashtra.

"The plant is among the most compact-sized thermal plants in the country with its 600 MW capacity requiring not more than 275 acres of plant land," a company statement noted.

Reliance Power chief executive, J P Chalasani, said with the second unit coming on line, the total operating capacity of the company has reached 1,840MW.
