Power Finance Corporation, the nodal agency for the country’s ultra mega power projects, has invited preliminary bids for setting
up a UMPP each in Odisha and Tamil Nadu. The Power Ministry proposes to set up a 4,000-mw ultra mega power project at Bedabahal (Odisha) and Cheyyur (Tamil Nadu).
‘PFC invites applications for selection of eligible bidders for development and operation of 4,000-mw Cheyyur project on DBFOT basis,’ a notice inviting tender on PFC website said.
DBFOT is design, build, finance, operate and transfer model. Cheyyur UMPP is a coastal power project based on imported coal. The beneficiary states are Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Kerala, Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
In another notice, PFC also invited initial bids for executing 4,000 MW UMPP at Bedabahal in Odisha. The project, to be set up on DBFOT basis, is a coal-fired pit head project near Bedabahal village in the state.
The coal from the project will be sourced from the mines Meenakshi, Meenakshi B and dip side of Meenakshi in Ib valley coalfields allocated by Coal India for this project. Estimated investment in each UMPP is Rs 20,000 crore.
These bids were invited after the government revised the existing Standard Bidding Documents for Case-II projects including UMPPs.
Under the new norms, any escalation in cost of fuel will be passed on to the consumer in the form of higher tariff and the companies, executing the projects, will have to mandatorily source equipment from the domestic manufacturers.
