Adani Power’s Mundra power plant achieves full load of 4,620 MW

Adani Power, India’s largest thermal private power producer’s state-of-the-art 4620 megawatts (MW) power plant at Mundra, has set a record by attaining the highest generation of 4,644 MW, making it the only power station of such a gigantic size to reach a significant milestone in electricity production. The generation so far was constrained due to inadequate evacuation capacity, which has been alleviated with guidance, support and cooperation of various state and central grid authorities.

Adani Power has a thermal power generating capacity of 7,920 MW, consisting of 4620 MW at Mundra, 1980 MW at Tiroda and 1320 at Kawai. The Mundra plant, which is one of the world’s largest private coal based power station at a single location, has five units of 660 MW and four units of 330 MW each. All the 660 MW units are based on environment friendly supercritical technology.

The Mundra plant is also the world’s first coal fired power project to receive carbon credits. It is generating about 1.8 million Certified Emission Reductions each year. The company is currently implementing a coal-fired project of 3300 MW at Tiroda, Maharashtra.
