The 1320 MW Talcher Thermal Power Project (TTPP) is now under built according to plan, and the first unit is expected to be commissioned by November 2026, according to TTPP executive director Goutam Deb.
Thanks to the installation of a highly effective electrostatic precipitator, the plant will produce far less carbon dioxide than competing facilities. Deb elaborated that there would be little sulfur dioxide emissions and that the ash slurry will be sent to the empty coal mine at Talcher for disposal.
Speaking to reporters on Saturday, the ED said that the project's first unit would be operational in November 2026 and the second in May 2027. He said that the power project will cost a total of Rs 11,843 crore, with 30% coming from equity and 70% from loans.
The National Thermal Power Corporation's (NTPC) power project calls for the construction of two 660 MW ultra super critical units.
According to the ED, this power facility is among the most cutting-edge power plants in the world, posing very little risk of contamination. Important fronts, such as the boiler, chimney, and DM Plant, are now undergoing renovation.
According to the ED, half of the electricity produced by this facility would go to Odisha, while the other states of Assam, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu will each get more than 11%. "Consumers will get 15% of the unallocated electricity with TTPP, per directive from the central government. In addition, he said that the project's electricity costs per unit would be around Rs 3.76.
The power station is set to take around 5.5 million metric tons of coal per year from Talcher Coalfields, according to the water and coal connection. The water for the project will come from the neighboring Brahmani river. Attendees at the news conference included senior TTPP general managers.
