Towards uninterrupted power supply in Noida
In a bid to ensure uninterrupted power supply across Greater Noida and Noida Extension, Noida Power Company Ltd (NPCL) is set to begin work on a 400 megawatt power plant. The 400 MW combined cycle power plant with advance class gas turbine technology will be ready by 2014.
The plant will come up in two phases. The first wing of the plant, having a capacity to generate 200 MW of power, will be completed by the end of 2013. In the next phase, another wing generating 200 MW of power will come up by 2014.
NPCL is also working on setting up two smaller electricity sub-stations with the capacity of 33 KV and 132 KV that are expected to be functional within four months and a year from now respectively.
The 33 KV sub-station will exclusively cater to the power needs of the Noida Extension-Greater Noida area. Once the 400 MW power plant is operational, authorities claim Greater Noida will get 24-hour power supply
