The super-critical coal fired power generation plant is being proposed as project activity which will have an installed capacity of 1320 MW (2 x 660 MW). The efficiency of the super-critical coal fired power plant will be around 41.39%.

The electricity generated will be exported to the local/regional/national grid. The project activity will be implemented at Tirora, the installed capacity will be 1320 MW (2 x 660 MW). The enhanced plant efficiency is expected to reduce  CO2 emissions and all other pollutants by using less fuel per unit of electricity generated.

The methodology used in this project is ACM0013, applicable to “new electricity generation plants” according to APML since their project involves the development of a greenfield coal based power plant using super-critical technology and supplying power to the Western Regional Grid of India. The project is seeking to generate 1193768 carbon credits per year.
