The Adani Group on July 15 announced the commissioning of India’s first transnational project at Godda in Jharkhand to supply power to the Bangladesh electricity grid.
- APJL, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Adani Power Ltd, will supply 100 per cent of the generated electricity from the plant to another nation.
- On April 6, the first unit of 800 MW capacity of the Godda plant began commercial operations followed by the second unit of 800 MW capacity on June 26.
- APJL will supply 1,496 MW from the Godda USCTPP under the PPA via a 400 kV dedicated transmission system connected to the Bangladesh grid.
- Electricity supplied from Godda will benefit Bangladesh’s power situation by replacing costly power generated by using liquid fuel.
- The transition will help Bangladesh reduce the average cost of power purchased, according to the statement.
- The Godda power plant is the first in India to have started operations with 100 per cent flue gas desulphurisation (FGD), selective catalytic reconverter (SCR) and zero water discharge for minimising emissions and for environment friendly operations
