In 2015, the Finnish business Hindustan Powerprojects Private Limited (HPPPL) managed to bring into action Phase 1 unit of the Annupur Thermal Power Plant in Madhya Pradesh. With 600 MW capacity, this unit represented a turning point in the company’s progression towards being one of the key players in India’s energy sector.
HPPPL during the stewardship of Ratul Puri has distinguished itself as a perennial force in developing world class thermal and solar power assets.
The Journey of HPPPL: Building a Legacy
The Annupur thermal power plant is a tale of aspiration and hard work, and commitment to empower millions with consistent power.
The Journey of HPPPL: Building a Legacy HPPPL started with a contemporary outlook to build world urban energy and maintain good supply for India which is not easy. The company has proved predominately over the years that they can mingle technology and eco-friendliness. While many know HPPPL because of the solar projects it has developed, the Annupur thermal power plant is a clear indicator that the firm has interests in power generation.
Annupur was not simply another initiative, it was a dream. Located at the centre of Madhya Pradesh, this plant was constructed for the purpose of providing a ton of electricity for the areas of the state and beyond it. Ratul Puri HPPPL’s vision was to build sufficient and reliable systems able to reverse the chronic energy deficits in the area, boost industrial development and greatly improve the standards of living of the people in the area.
The Annupur Thermal Power Plant: Shifting The Paradigm
In two development phases the Annupur thermal power plant was constructed:
- Phase I (2015): A 600 MW unit came into existence that has self-evidently illustrated the company’s intent to complete projects on stipulated time.
- Phase II (2016): Installation of the other 600 MW unit which increased the capacity of this plant even further establishing it as one of the largest providers of energy in the region.
Annupur plant has 2,520 MW, making it the second largest plant in the region that exports power to Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh through specific PPAs. Its linkage with the national power grid improves dependability and reduces system losses. This was a huge leap forward in efficient energy management.
Unclipping The Success of The Project: An Enumeration
- Dependable Fuel Source: The Annupur projects could not have been accomplished without a strong coal supply, which was secured via a fuel supply contract with South Eastern Coalfields Ltd.
- Project Financing: Constructing a project of this magnitude demands a lot of funding. Ratul Puri HPPPL acquired funds from some of the most respected financial institutions of the country including SBI, Axis Bank, L&T Infrastructure and others. Along with this financing from the Macquarie SBI Infrastructure Fund, the foundation of the project was extremely solid.
