Country’s largest thermal power generator NTPC is supposedly dragging its feet on the proposed expansion of its 3000 Mw super thermal power station at Kaniha, some 180 km from Bhubaneshwar.
NTPC had earlier announced ramping up of capacity at the Kaniha station by 1600 Mw through the addition of two supercritical units of 800 Mw each. But, diminishing demand for conventional power with the gaining appeal of renewable power, lack of visible coal sources and paucity of long-term power purchase agreements (PPA) has visibly pressed the brakes on the expansion plan.
