Vallur Conventional Thermal Power Plant

India / Tamil Nadu / Kattivakkam /
 thermal power station  Add category
Set up under the mega power project policy, the project will add nearly 24 million units a day to the grid. Of the 1,500MW generated, Tamil Nadu will take 750MW and the rest will go to Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry.
The plant will consume 4.62mt of coal a year. Coal for the plant will be brought from Orissa through ship to Ennore port, from where it will be transported by road.
The unit was commissioned in August 2013 and since then the unit is generating power. But, occasionally, there is problem with fuel shortage for all the three units as it is dependent on local coal against the state's own units, which gets coal from Indonesia. It is due to some natural disturbance that the silt is more in sea water which is used in the desalination plant before taken to the thermal unit as coolant. We have sought some filters from Metrowater and hope this problem would be solved. But there is also coal shortage and we are expecting fuel from coal block though we are keeping our fingers crossed,
