PTI reported that the union power ministry is likely to invite a request for qualification for at least one of the 3 Ultra Mega Power Projects for which it has identified sites in Orissa, Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh.
Mr Gireesh B Pradhan additional secretary and ministry of power said “We are expecting one RFQ this year. The ministry has shortlisted Cuddalore in Tamil Nadu, Bedabahal in Orissa and Kotipalli in Andhra Pradesh for the projects. We have identified a total of 14 sites for UMPPs. 4 out of these have already been awarded to private players. Three out of these are with the Anil Ambani group while the fourth has been bagged by TATA Power.”
Each UMPP has a capacity of 4,000 MW. Though no timeline has been fixed for the RFQ, it is likely to be invited soon and will be followed by financial and technical bids from interested power players. Mr Pradhan said “The country's target of achieving 78,775 MW of power during the XI Plan Period was doable.”
