TIRUCHI: Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has secured a Rs.2,600-crore order to supply two new rating units of 600 MW each, constituting the main plant package of an upcoming thermal power project (TPP) of an independent power producer, Messrs.

The order for the greenfield power project, located at Derang in Angul district, has come close on the heels of an order for a 600 MW thermal power plant of Korba West Power Company Limited in Chhattisgarh.

Private sector consumers have placed 95 per cent of the orders in the current fiscal.

BHEL’s scope of work in the 1,200 MW contract envisages design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection and commissioning of steam turbines, generators and boilers, along with associated auxiliaries and electricals, besides state-of-the-art Controls & Instrumentation (C&I) and electrostatic precipitators (ESPs), according to a release.

With fully established state-of-the-art technology for manufacture of thermal sets up to 1,000 MW rating, BHEL has also introduced new rating thermal sets of 270 MW, 525 MW and 600 MW. In 2008-09, the installed capacity of BHEL-supplied utility sets went up to 87,646 MW and the company maintained its share of 64 per cent in the country’s total installed capacity of 1,38,175 MW.
