The first unit of 800 MW would be commissioned in March 2012 and the second unit in September 2012.

The project would be the first supercritical power project to be installed in Tamil Nadu and will strengthen the power availability in the state.

The present installed power generating capacity in Tamil Nadu is 10,122 MW.

The boilers and the turbine generators will be manufactured by BHEL in technical collaboration with Alstom and Siemens respectively.
