Adani Power to increase PLF at Udupi plant

19 May 2015 Evaluate

After completing acquisition of Udupi Power Corporation (UPCL) from Lanco Infratech, Adani Power is all determined to sort out the coal shortage problem and increase the plant load factor (PLF) of the 2x600-MW thermal power plant in Yellur in Dakshina Kannada district. At the present, UPCL’s PLF is around 60%, however, the company in the coming months plan to increase it substantially to around 90%.

Notably, UPCL depends entirely on imported coal for power generation. Of its total production, around 90% is consumed in Karnataka, while the company has rights to sell the rest elsewhere. Through its power purchase agreement, UPCL sells power to Karnataka-based electricity supply companies at an average of Rs 4.05 a unit. Besides, Adani Power is yet to take a call on expansion of UPCL’s power generating units. The company way back in 2010 had its expansion plan approved.

Adani Power is India’s largest private sector power generation company with a current operational capacity of 9,240 MW, comprising of 4,620 MW at Mundra in Gujarat, 3,300 MW at Tiroda in Maharashtra and 1,320 MW at Kawai in Rajasthan.
