Feedback Ventures to help Nagpur city set up 500 Mw power plant

Feedback Ventures, an infrastructure services company, has been chosen by the the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) for assisting pre-developmental studies for setting up a 500 Mw coal-based thermal power plant near Nagpur.

Feedback Ventures will undertake technical studies, fuel linkage, environment clearance and selection of the private developer within eight to ten months.

"The unique feature of this plant would be to utilise water from the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for power generation and would not draw upon the scarce water resources of the Vidarbha region," said Shailesh Joshi, President, Energy Division of Feedback Ventures.

The proposed power plant is intended to be developed through Public Private Partnership and is expected to commence power generation in the early period of 12th Five Year Plan. The land for the power plant would be made available by NMC close to its sewage treatment plant at Bandewadi, near Nagpur city, said a press release.
