Key Points Of Adani’s Godda Plant:
Adani Power Limited has commissioned its first 800 MW ultra-super-critical thermal power generation unit in Godda, Jharkhand, India, and has begun supplying Bangladesh with 748 MW of power.
The power supplied from Godda will replace expensive liquid fuel-generated power, lowering the average cost of power purchased in Bangladesh.
According to Adani Power CEO S.B. Khyalia, the Godda power plant will improve the situation in Bangladesh, easing power supply and making its industries and ecosystem more competitive.
The plant is equipped with “Ultra Super Critical Technology” and is the first power plant in India to start operations from Day One with 100% Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD), SCR, and Zero Water Discharge.
Detail of Adani’s Godda Plant in Bangladesh:
Adani Power Ltd announced the launch of its first 800 MW ultra-super-critical thermal power generation unit in Godda, Jharkhand, India. The company also started supplying Bangladesh with 748 MW of power.
According to a company statement, the power supply from Godda will improve the situation in Bangladesh by replacing expensive power generated from liquid fuel, lowering the average cost of power purchased.
Adani Power CEO S.B. Khyalia called the Godda power plant a strategic asset in the India-Bangladesh relationship. He added that the plant would ease the power supply in Bangladesh, making its industries and ecosystem more competitive. It is also the most efficient and environment-friendly thermal power plant in India and the entire Southeast Asia region and one of the best in the world. It is the first power plant in the country to start operations from Day One with 100% Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD), SCR, and Zero Water Discharge.
In November 2017, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) executed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Adani Power Jharkhand Limited (APJL) to procure 1,496 MW net capacity power from 2X800 MW ultra-supercritical power project at Godda.
India’s largest power producer in the private sector is expected to commission its second 800 MW unit soon. The project, however, was delayed due to the pandemic and non-completion of the transmission infrastructure in Bangladesh.
The company statement mentioned that Bangladesh has one of the largest liquid fuel-based power generation plants in the Indian sub-continent region. Heavy fuel oil (HFO)-based plants have an installed capacity of about 6,329 MW, and high-speed diesel (HSD)-based plants have an installed capacity of about 1,290 MW, totaling over 7,600 MW.
As per BPDB’s annual report for the financial year 2021-22, the total tariff of HFO-based plants is around BDT 22.10/kWh (USC 21/KWh), and the total tariff of HSD-based power plants is around BDT 154.11/kWh (USC 149/KWh), which is much higher than the tariff of Godda Power Plant (Energy cost estimated to be around 9 cents/KWh). The Adani Power statement said that though Bangladesh has long-term PPA ties with three other imported coal-based generators, the total tariff of Godda TPP is competitive compared to peers.
Adani Power Ltd has announced that it has commissioned its first 800 MW ultra-supercritical thermal power generation unit at Godda in the Jharkhand district of India and started supplying Bangladesh with 748 MW of power. The company statement mentioned that the electricity supplied from Godda would replace expensive power generated from liquid fuel, which would bring down the average cost of power purchased in Bangladesh. Adani Power’s CEO, S.B. Khyalia, called the Godda power plant a strategic asset in the India-Bangladesh relationship and stated that it would make Bangladesh’s industries and ecosystem more competitive.
In November 2017, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) signed a long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with APL’s subsidiary Adani Power Jharkhand Limited (APJL) to purchase 1,496 MW of net capacity power from the 2×800 MW ultra-supercritical power project at Godda. India’s largest power producer in the private sector is expected to commission its second 800 MW unit soon, although the project was delayed due to the pandemic and non-completion of the transmission infrastructure in Bangladesh.
According to the company statement, Bangladesh has one of the largest liquid fuel-based power generation plants in the Indian sub-continent region, with an installed capacity of heavy fuel oil (HFO)-based plants of around 6,329 MW and high-speed diesel (HSD)-based plants of about 1,290 MW, totaling to over 7,600 MW. The total tariff of HFO-based plants is around BDT 22.10/kWh (USC 21/KWh), and the total tariff of HSD-based power plants is around BDT 154.11/kWh (USC 149/KWh), which is far higher than the tariff of Godda Power Plant (Energy cost estimated to be around 9 cents/KWh). At present, Bangladesh has long-term PPA ties with three other imported coal-based generators, but the total tariff of Godda TPP is competitive compared to its peers.
Adani Power (Jharkhand) Limited (APJL) has achieved commercial operations of Unit 1 of 800 MW capacity of the 2×800 MW ultra-supercritical power project situated in Godda district in Jharkhand. APJL will supply power under a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for corresponding net capacity of 748 MW from Unit 1 to the Bangladesh Power Development Board. APJL has started processing its claims under the PPA with effect from April 6, 2023, as stated in an exchange filing. Despite several challenges, Adani Power Jharkhand Limited had successfully synchronized the first unit with the power grid of Bangladesh on November 29, 2022, through a dedicated transmission line from Godda to Bangladesh in the presence of representatives from the government of Bangladesh.
The Godda Power Plant is equipped with the latest technology available in the world, which is “Ultra Super Critical Technology” with the latest techniques for controlling emissions and consumption of coal and water. The Flue Gas Desulphurization (FGD) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) have been installed in the plant to minimize the emission and meet the latest environment norms of the Ministry of Environment, Forest, and Climate Change (MoEF). The plant is expected to be one of its kind in India and in Bangladesh, operating on the latest environment emission norms.
Adani Power has an installed thermal power capacity of 13,610 MW spread across seven power plants in Gujarat, Maharashtra, Karnataka, Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh, and Madhya Pradesh, in addition to a 40 MW solar power plant in Gujarat.
