The awarded
Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) are expected in 12th
Plan (except the last unit of Tilaiya UMPP, which is
likely to come in 13th Plan) as per schedule in the Power Purchase
Agreement (PPA). At present, there is no proposal for setting up of an UMPP in
the State of West Bengal.
Under the Ultra Mega Power Projects (UMPPs) initiative launched by the Ministry of Power, no
financial allocation has been envisaged from the Government. The projects are given to the bidder with the
lowest levellized tariff. Further, the responsibility for achieving
financial closure and tying up of funds for meeting the requirement of the
project rests with the identified developers.
