In the year 2006, to
achieve its mission of “Power for All by 2012”, Govt. of India, Ministry of
Power had started a unique initiative in the form of Ultra Mega Power Projects,
each having a capacity of about 4000 MW, recognizing the fact that the
economies of scale leading to cheaper power can be secured through development
of large size power projects.
PFC has been
designated as the Nodal Agency for the development of these UMPPs while Central
Electricity Authority (CEA) is the Technical Partner. So far, 16 such UMPPs
have been identified, to be located in the States of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand,
Madhya Pradesh, Orissa, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka, Maharashtra and
Tamil Nadu.
Out of the 16
UMPPs, 7 projects in Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Orissa are
domestic coal based, while the other 9 in Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat, Karnataka,
Maharashtra and Tamil Nadu are based on imported coal. So far 12 Special
Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) have been incorporated for these UMPPs to undertake
preliminary site investigation activities necessary for preparation of Project
Information Reports, and obtain various linkages, clearances and approvals
required for conducting an effective tariff based competitive bidding process
for selection of developers for these projects. These SPVs will be transferred
to such selected developers.
