To bemore realistic and in keeping in view all factors, computing total available generation fromSTPS additional energy to be available from the new unit during the ensuing years FY09,FY10 and FY11 has been estimated at 650 MU, 950 MU, 950 MU respectively.Thus the quantum of energy to be purchased from STPS has been estimated at1993 MU, 2370 MU and 2449 MU during FY09, FY10 and FY11 respectively. Duringdiscussion with WBPDCL, it appeared that projected energy is realistic.e) Sagardighi Thermal Power Station ( SgTPS)One unit of capacity 300 MW at Sagardighi Thermal Power Station has beencommissioned in February, 2008 and the second unit of 300 MW is at construction stageand expected to be commissioned this year.
