Reliance Power to set up 200 MW wind power project in Maharashtra

10 Aug 2011 Evaluate

Reliance Power is developing a 200 MW wind power project at Vashpet in Maharashtra curtailing an investment of  Rs 1,500 crore making it the largest such investment in India by any power generation company at a single location. The project will be developed under a special purpose vehicle of R-Power and can be scaled up to 400 MW.

The project is expected to be commissioned in phases and by September 2012 will reach the full capacity of 200 MW. Power generated from the project will be wheeled for distribution in Mumbai by Reliance Infrastructure. Reliance Power has entered into a long-term power purchase agreement with Reliance Infrastructure at the tariff declared by Maharashtra State Electricity Regulatory Commission (MERC), which is Rs 5.37 per unit.

Recently, Reliance Power had initiated the process of arranging funds for its 4,000 MW ultra mega power project at Tilaiya in Jharkhand. Reserve Bank of India (RBI) had given the in-principle approval for raising external commercial borrowings (ECB) of $2 billion. The financial closure is expected to be financed at a debt to equity ratio of 75:25. The power and coal mine put together are estimated to cost around Rs 24,000 crore.
