Coal India Limited (CIL) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Limited (RRVUNL) for exploration and execution of 4,100 MW capacity power projects.
The proposed electricity generation would be through a mix of coal fired thermal power plant (TPP), solar projects, pump storage plant and wind projects. The five proposed projects are 2×800 MW coal based pit-head power plant to come up in a coal bearing state, whose power would be drawn by Rajasthan. Others are a 2,000 MW solar power project in RRVUNL’s solar park; 200 MW (2×100) pump storage project at Jawahar Sagar; 250 MW of solar project on the land acquired for Banswara TPP by RRVUNL and 50 MW wind project at the existing Ramgarh gas project, Jaisalmer.
