Dadri plant a model for eco management

Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI: The 980 MW coal-based power generating unit at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh can serve as a model for environmental management and as a template for other power plants in the country, Union Minister of State for Commerce and Power Jairam Ramesh has said.

‘Accomplishment’

Following a visit on Sunday to the plant that is likely to be commissioned in time for the Commonwealth Games, Mr. Ramesh said Dadri’s “greatest accomplishment” has been environmental management, which should serve as an example to all other power plants in the country.

He lauded the establishment of the Ash Utilisation Technology Park as also the creation of the eco-friendly 550-acre ash mound which has led to the emergence of a first-rate nature park in the power plant complex. The Minister pointed out that the nature park may well have a positive impact in reducing emissions of carbon dioxide from the Dadri thermal power plant complex.
