Tata Power recently commissioned the second unit
of its 2x525-mw Maithon power project in
Jharkhand. Located at Dhanbad, the plant is owned
and managed by Maithon Power Ltd—a joint venture
between Tata Power and Damodar Valley Corporation.
The first unit of the Maithon project was commissioned in
September 2011. MPL is also India's first instance of public
private partnership in the field of power generation.
This development has taken Tata Power's gross
generation capacity to over 5,000 mw, making it the
largest private sector power generation company. TPC's
total capacity currently stands at 5,297 mw including
4,447 mw of thermal power and 850 mw of clean energy.
Speaking on this milestone, Anil Sardana, Managing
Director, Tata Power, said, "The synchronization of
Maithon 525-mw Unit 2 today is a significant
milestone. With this development, Tata Power's gross
generation capacity has touched 5,297 mw reaffirming
its contribution as the largest integrated power
company in India."
