Power

Akrimota Power Project   GMDC has implemented 2 X 125 MW Akrimota Thermal Power Project at village Nani Chher, Taluka Lakhapat, Dist. Kutchh, Gujarat State. Both the units have been in commercial operation since March, 2007. It is a pit head lignite based thermal power plant getting lignite from its own mines at Panandhro. The water requirement for the power plant is taken from the nearest Kori Creek through a 1.4k.m.long sea water intake channel. The CFBC boiler is used here as it is environment friendly and controls sulfur in the flue gas emission. A 100 metre green belt surrounds the entire site. The state-of-the-art technology DDCS has been used here. The plant has already achieved more than 62% PLF in the first quarter of 2009-10.   ATPS achieved highest monthly generation of 151.60 MUs in March 2009. It has also achieved highest daily generation of 6.08 MU i.e. 100.33% PLF on 03-12-08 and highest monthly PLF of 83.5% in November 2009.     Funding Pattern Total Project cost 1395 Crores GMDC (Equity) 20% Financial Institution and Banks (Debt) 80%   Comprehensive Details of Akrimota Power Plant   Site Details Village Chher Nani Taluka Lakhpat District Kutch State Gujarat Nearest Town Bhuj/ Gandhidham Distance from Site 150 KM / 220 KM Nearest Seaport Kandla - 220 KM Nearest Airport Bhuj Seismic Zone ZONE-V as per IS 1893-1975   Milestones 1st unit Synchronized 31st Mar. 2005 1st unit CoD 12th March 2007 2nd unit Synchronized 19thDecember 2005 2nd unit CoD 1st May 2006   Source of Fuel Type of Fuel Lignite Source Existing Panandhro and Akrimota mines Distance 20 KM approx Reserves 50 Million Tonnes approx.   Type of Additive Limestone Source Overburden from Lignite Mines Distance 20 KM approx Reserves 30 Million Tonnes approx.   GMDC makes a foray in to Wind Farm Generation   The Govt. of Gujarat is Keen on development of renewable energy sector given the dwindling fuel resources and the concern for environmental Protection. The State is blessed with long coastline and good wind speeds for harnessing of the Wind Energy and so the Govt. is committed to have investment in Clean and Green Energy to reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions. The State Govt. has Directed the Corporation to invest in the Wind Farm Project for a total 100 M.W. capacity addition in a staggered way. In the first phase, Power Division has installed Wind Turbine Generators of a total 19.5 M.W. capacity, at Varshemedhi in Maliya taluka of Rajkot district. The wind farms have started generating electricity since 1-10-09, which is suplied to the State Grid.
