Adani Group Chairman Gautam Adani called on Bangladesh Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina in Dhaka on Saturday following the full load commencement of power supply to Bangladesh from the Group’s Ultra Super-Critical Thermal Power Plantin Godda, India. The Godda USCTPP, which marks the Adani Group’s entry into transnational power projects, is India’s first commissioned transnational power project where 100% of the generated power is supplied to another nation.
Adani Power Jharkhand Ltd, a subsidiary of Adani Power, completed the dependable capacity test for the Godda plant on 12 July. The test, mandatory under the PPA with Bangladesh, evaluated the simultaneous functioning of both plant units after supplying electricity. Mr Gautam Adani said in a tweet: “I salute the dedicated teams from India and Bangladesh who braved COVID to commission the plant in a record time of three-and-a-half years.”
The Godda plant in Jharkhand, India, began commercial operations on April 6th with an 800 MW capacity. On June 26th, the second unit began. APJL will supply 1,496 MW from the Godda USCTPP under a 25-year PPA with the Bangladesh Power Development Board.
