M/s Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd., was issued TOR on 08.08.2009 for its 2x300 MW Lignite Based Power Plant (Station-II) proposed at village Karagara/Khareda near Mosali, in Taluk Mangrol, in District Surat, in Gujarat. Public hearing for the project was also held on 19.11.2010. M/s Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd. has now informed that the site was chosen as it was very close to captive lignite mine (2-3 kms). Though the project site is very close to the mine, it is about 6 kms away from State Highway and dedicated approach road needs to be constructed. However, it had now come to their notice that there was strong resistance for acquisition of land for the power plant site as well as for the approach road. M/s Gujarat Industries Power Company Ltd. now desires to change the site at a new location, where about 150 Ha land was available. This site was also considered as one of the site during the site selection. The new site will be at village Nani Naroli, in Mangrol Taluk, in Surat Distt., in Gujarat, which will be about 9.5 Kms away from the previous site. It was also informed that the new site is just adjacent to its existing 500 MW (4x125 MW) power plants for which environmental clearances were obtained in two phases in 1996 and 2003. From the new site, captive lignite mine will be at a distance of about 15 kms. The project proponent also produced photographs of the site indicating present site condition. The Committee deliberated the matter and decided that the change in site could be agreed to but since the study area has changed the request for consideration for environmental clearance based on EIA/EMP Report, Public Hearing etc. for the previous site could not be accepted as it was legally not tenable. The Committee therefore decided that in the present changed scenario, the proposal is more of an expansion case of the existing 4x125 MW SLPP. The Committee therefore decided that the project proponent shall submit revised Form-I, Feasibility report etc. and as an expansion proposal (Phase-II) of its existing 4x125 MW. The Committee further decided that the Ministry may accordingly consider the proposal on receipt of the documents for consideration of TOR. 2.22 1x500 MW Imported Coal Based Thermal Power Plant of M/s Hassan Thermal Power Pvt. Ltd. in KIDB notified industrial area at villages Dobba Basavanahalli, Dobba Honnenahalli, Kachandyakanahalli and Bustanhalli, in Hassan Taluk, District Hassan in Karnataka - reg. Amendment in EC. 26
M/s Hassan Thermal Power Pvt. Ltd. was accorded environmental clearance for its 1x500 MW Imported Coal Based Thermal Power Plant in KIDB notified industrial area at villages Dobba Basavanahalli, Dobba Honnenahalli, Kachandyakanahalli and Bustanhalli, in Hassan Taluk, district Hassan in Karnataka on 17.02.2012. M/s Hassan Thermal Power Pvt. Ltd. have now informed that Govt. of Karnataka has directed them to opt for 1x660 MW Super-critical Technology instead of 1x500 MW Sub-Critical Technology, in view of volatility of imported coal price and issues associated and considering that with 1x660 MW Super- Critical, techno economic benefits to the State will be advantageous and therefore to the consumers. M/s Hassan Thermal Power Pvt. Ltd. also presented the increase in coal consumption and subsequent incremental environmental pollutants. The Committee deliberated the data presented and decided that with a marginal increase in coal consumption, Super-Critical Technology can give a large output of electricity and therefore the request could be agreed to. The Committee also observed that the Govt. of India Policy is also to opt for more efficient technology and therefore the request could be favorably considered. The Committee, therefore, recommended that the Ministry may do further needful in the matter. 3.0 Any other item with permission of the Chair: 3.1 Discussion of report of the Sub-Group of EAC on visit to Trombay TPPS of M/s Tata Power Co.
