TNPGCL to expand Ennore Thermal Power Station by 660 MW

thehindu.com

Tamil Nadu Power Generation Corporation Ltd (TNPGCL) will now execute the 660-MW expansion of the Ennore Thermal Power Station. This decision shifts from an earlier plan to use a public-private partnership model. The project faced delays and contract terminations with previous contractors due to slow progress. BGR Energy Systems was awarded the contract in 2022 but was also terminated last year. The expansion aims to meet Tamil Nadu's growing power demand, which increases by 10% annually. TNPGCL's total thermal power capacity is currently 4,320 MW, contributing to a total conventional capacity of 15,839.56 MW in the state.
