NTPC has signed a 25 year power
purchase agreement (PPA) with Maharashtra State
Electricity Distribution Co (Mahavitaran) for the 1,000 MW
Mouda coal-based power project in Nagpur district of Maharashtra.
The proposed power plant will be
developed in two units of 500 MW each and is expected to be operational by
2011-12.
Though Central Electricity Authority
will decide on the quantum of power to be given to the stakeholders, including
Mahavitaran, the state power utility has requested 900 MW power from the project
so that the power situation of the state improves.
