The GMR Group has synchronised the second unit of the 2X300 MW EMCO Energy plant in Maharashtra with the grid. The plant achieved full load operation on 27 August, the company said in a statement from Hyderabad.
The GMR Group is setting up EMCO Energy's power plant at Warora in Chandrapur district of Maharashtra. Power generation commenced from the first unit of 300 MW in March 2013.
EMCO Energy is the GMR Group's first coal-based power plant to commence commercial generation. With this, the GMR Group's combined generation capacity is 1,836.85 MW. Projects totalling 4,575 MW are under development.
EMCO Energy will supply power to Maharashtra, Dadra & Nagar Haveli and other areas.
Power generated from the plant is being evacuated to Bhadravati through a 400 kV transmission line. A rail corridor has recently been created to transport coal from the South Eastern Coalfields to the plant.
