TNPGCL to execute 660-MW Ennore Thermal Power Station expansion project
Tamil Nadu Power Generation Corporation Ltd has decided to execute the 660-MW Ennore Thermal Power Station expansion project. According to agenda for a meeting of Southern Regional Power Committee which had information on status of new thermal projects of central and state sector in a board meeting held earlier this year, it was decided that the ETPS expansion project will be executed by TNPGCL. Later, letter of award for executing the balance works on ’as is where is basis’ condition for the project was issued to BGR Energy Systems Ltd in 2022 for a value of ₹ 4,442.75 crore and it was terminated last year due to slow progress, as per State Energy Department’s policy note for 2024-25. The State’s power demand is increasing by 10% every year, and to meet the increasing demand, projects like ETPS and Udangudi Super Critical Thermal Project have been planned, and work is underway.
