Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) has commissioned three supercritical units of 660 MW each at the 1980 MW coal-based Lalitpur Super Thermal Power Project (STPP) in Uttar Pradesh within three months.

All the three units have been synchronised by BHEL four months ahead of the schedule through enhanced focus on project execution using innovative erection techniques and meticulous project management, according to a BHEL release.

The main plant package contract of this 1980 MW power plant is executed by BHEL. Supercritical units are more efficient, consume less coal, and are eco-friendly.

The key equipment for the project has been manufactured by BHEL at its Haridwar, Tiruchi, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru units, while the construction of the plant has been undertaken by the company’s Power Sector – Northern Region.

In the last one year, BHEL has commissioned four supercritical sets of 660 MW each in Uttar Pradesh, the release added.
