Tata Power’s JV with MPL Commences flow of energy to Kerala on a Long Term Agreement basis

Tata Power has announced that it has completed its tie-up of power through Long term PPA with the commencement of power flow to Kerala State Electricity Board Ltd from 00.00 hrs of 17.12.2015. In what has happened as a major turnaround across the country, Southern region which was poorly connected with the NEW (Northern-Eastern-Western) grid has now enhanced its capacity with the commissioning of 765 KV and 400 KV lines.

This is considered as significant development for the 1050 MW Maithon Power Plant which could ultimately tie up the entire capacity of the station.

Speaking on the development, CEO & Executive Director of MPL, Mr. K. Chandrashekhar said “It’s indeed a significant development in the interest of consumers of Southern States of India in general, paving the way to wheel competitive power available from generating stations across India to leverage this newly commissioned corridor. We appreciate the new lines delivered by PGCIL. MPL too has benefited in firming up its un-allocated power and gave us the much needed impetus to now look forward to surge ahead with its expansion plan too. We take this opportunity to thank officials of KSEBL in pursuing the matter and we look forward to a long-term fruitful association with them”.
