Mumbai: The only multinational company operating in India’s power generation space, CLP Power India Pvt. Ltd.--a subsidiary of Hong Kong-based CLP Holdings Ltd.--announced on Thursday that the first unit of its 1,320 MW power plant at Jhajjar in Haryana had begun operations
The second unit of the Jhhajar (660x2MW) plant will become operational by the middle of this year (July 2012), CLP said in a release. The company had won the project through international competitive bidding in 2008, and 90% of the power generated from the project will be sold to power distribution utilities owned by the Haryana government, the statement added.
CLP India’s managing director Rajiv Mishra told Mint: “Our plan for the next five years is to grow our portfolio from a little over 2,600MW today to around 10,000MW.” He said this growth would be powered by both conventional as well as renewable sources
“In addition to these, we have land to triple the capacity of our 1,320 MW coal-fired power plant in Jhajjar but it is too early to comment on the specifics of this potential,” CLP said
