GMR Kamalanga Energy (GKEL), has synchronised Unit-II of Phase-I of its coal-based power plant with grid at Kamalanga in Dhenkanal district of Orissa.

Unit-II of Phase-I has a capacity of 350 MW. The Kamalanga project, with 4 x 350 MW capacity is being developed by GKEL, in two phases of 3 x 350 MW and 1 x 350 MW, respectively.

However, work on Unit-III with 350 MW capacity in Phase-I is in an advanced stage and is likely to be completed by August 2013.

Work on Phase-II of the project will commence as soon as the company commissions all the three units in Phase-I.

The required fuel for the project will be supplied by Mahanadi Coalfields and captive coal mine (Rampia), allocated by the Central Government. Power produced from the plant will be supplied to Orissa, Bihar, Haryana and other parts of the country.

With this, the combined generation capacity of the GMR Group has reached 1,836 MW.
