Power producer CLP India today announced the successful synchronization of the first of the two 660MW units of the Mahatma Gandhi Thermal Power Project (MGTPP) in Jhajjar, near here, in Haryana.

 

"The unit has achieved full load capacity and is now ready to produce 660MW. 90% of this Plant’s output is reserved for the State of Haryana, which will make a significant contribution towards minimizing the shortage of power in the State," a press release from the company said.

 

CLP India is the first foreign company that has won a major power generation project in India through international competitive bidding that took place in July 2008. The foundation stone of India’s largest supercritical coal-fired project was laid by Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda on January 10, 2009, and the first unit has been synchronized exactly 36 months later, it said.
