BHEL to start work on clean coal energy plant

Work on the country’s first and biggest integrated coal gassification combined cycle (ICGCC) power plant is likely to commence in June 2010. The Rs 2,500-crore plant will come up at Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh and will be set up by three joint venture partners, with one of them being Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL).

AV Krishnan, executive director, BHEL- Tiruchirappali said the design for the 182 Megawatt plant was complete.

The other two partners include Department of Science and APGenco, a state-owned power generator in Andhra Pradesh. “While our share (one third) is by way of equipment, APGenco will provide land and the department of science will bring in finance,” said Krishnan.

A memorandum of understanding in this regard was signed in 2008.
