Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) has successfully commissioned another 500 MW thermal unit in the state of West Bengal.
The unit was the second 500 MW set to be commissioned at Sagardighi Thermal Power Station (TPS) Phase II project in Murshidabad district of West Bengal. The first unit of the 1000 MW project was commissioned earlier by BHEL in December, 2015. The project has been set up by the state-owned West Bengal Power Development Corporation (WBPDCL).
BHEL’s scope of work in the contract envisaged design, engineering, manufacture, supply, and erection and commissioning of steam generators, steam turbine generators and auxiliaries, electrical equipment, switchyard and state-of-the-art controls and instrumentation (C&I), along with associated civil works.
The equipment for the project was manufactured at BHEL’s Trichy, Ranipet, Haridwar, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Bhopal plants, while the company’s Power Sector - Eastern Region undertook erection and commissioning of the equipment.
BHEL has so far contributed 83% of the total coal-based generating capacity of WBPDCL.
