The state government yesterday signed three Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for 1,008 MWs, including a path-breaking 'waste-to-energy' project.
The agreements with NTPC, Neyveli Lignite Corporation Ltd (NLC) and Srinivasa Gayithri Resource Recovery Ltd were inked in the presence of Chief Minister B S Yeddyurappa and Minister for Energy Shobha Karandlaje and senior officials.
NTPC is setting up a 4,000 MWs regional mega coal-based thermal power plant at Pudimadakka in Andhra Pradesh's Vishakapatnam district, in which Karnataka's share is 600 MWs.
Let there be light: Karnataka has a 400 MWs share in the 1,980 MWs coal-based thermal power project, to be set up by NLC in Tamil Nadu. REPRESENTATION PIC |
