GUWAHATI: The Assam Government signed a 492-MW Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Neyveli Uttar Pradesh Power Ltd. (NUPPL) today to ensure a steady and reliable power supply to the state from NUPPL’s 3x660 MW Ghatampur Thermal Power Plant.

The collaboration marks a significant milestone for NUPPL in the pursuit of sustainable and uninterrupted power generation.

The PPA was signed and exchanged between NUPPL CEO CS Santhosh and Chandan Deka, Chief General Manager/Commercial and EE, APDCL, at Bijulee Bhawan in Guwahati.

Under this agreement, NUPPL, a joint venture subsidiary of NLC India Ltd. (NLCIL), will supply 492.72 MW of power to the Assam Government. This reliable energy supply will not only meet the growing demand for electricity in the state of Assam but also contribute to the development and progress of various sectors in the state.

In February this year, the Union Ministry of Power revised the power allocation from the NUPPL’s 3 x 660 MW Ghatampur Thermal Power Plant. Based on the revision, Uttar Pradesh and Assam have been allocated 1,487.28 MW (75.12%) and 492.72 MW (24.88%) of power supply, respectively.

After the signing of the PPA, NLCIL CMD Prasanna Kumar Motupalli said, “The signing of the agreement with Assam for 492.72 MW exemplifies our commitment to contributing to the growth story of Assam, Uttar Pradesh, and the country as a whole. We are confident in meeting the increasing energy demands and driving progress in various sectors.”

The power supply provided by NUPPL will play a crucial role in enhancing the socio-economic landscape of Assam. It will support industrial growth, improve the quality of life for residents, promote entrepreneurship, and attract further investments to the region.
