INTRODUCTION
Tamil Nadu Generation & Distribution corporation limited (TANGEDCO), a Company
incorporated in India under the Companies Act 1956, having its registered office at NPKRR
Maaligai, 144, Anna Salai, Chennai – 600 002 is a statutory body of erstwhile Tamil Nadu
Electricity Board (TNEB) formed under the Electricity Supply Act as a successor to the
erstwhile Electricity Department of the Government of Madras. Starting with the modest
installed capacity of 156 MW and annual gross generation plus purchase of 630 Million units
at the dawn of independence, TANGEDCO has grown by leaps and bounds with total
installed generation capacity of 13,373 MW as on March 2015. The Board’s gross generation
during the year 2014-15 was 84,454 Million units.
The Tamil Nadu state continues to be in the forefront in the field of rural electrification in the
country. The role of TANGEDCO in improving the economy of the states of Tamil Nadu by
extensive electrification of the villages, large scale energisation of agricultural pump sets and
extension of electricity services to poor/backward and downtrodden sections of the society, in
addition to extension of supply to large number of industries has been well recognized.
Already TANGEDCO is setting up a 1,320 MW (2x660 MW) coal based thermal power project
at Udangudi in Stage-I in Tuticorin District of Tamil Nadu and this project is established under
State Sector.
While the tender for Stage-I of 2 x 660 MW Coal based thermal Power Project is under
finalization, it is explored to study various options for increasing the generation capacity of the
State. As there are sufficient land to establish future units near 2 X 660 MW of Stage-I, it is
proposed to install four more units of 660 MW and the feasibility of installing these additional
units is studied. The GOTN has accorded in principle approval for establishing Stage-II & III
(each of 2X660 MW) vide G.O (4D) No.1, dated 03.02.2015.
TANGEDCO retained Fichtner Consulting Engineers (India) Pvt. Ltd. (FI), Chennai as their
Consultant / Engineer for the preparation of Pre-feasibility Report of the Project.

PROJECT BACKGROUND
Electricity consumption in India is increasing at a rate faster than over all energy supply.
From the Demand analysis and availability statement (enclosed as Appendix-5), the deficit
during the year 2015-16 is 1316MW. Keeping in view of huge power generation capacity
requirement to be added during 12th Plan (2012-17), a rapid capacity addition through large
scale thermal power development program is planned.

4 X 660 MW Udangudi Supercritical Thermal Power Project (Stage – II & III)
Pre-feasibility Report
In order to meet the growing demand of the state, Government of Tamil Nadu had decided to
develop coal based power projects. In this process, TANGEDCO initiated to establish
2 X 800 MW Supercritical Thermal Power Project near Udangudi Village Tuticorin District,
Tamil Nadu as a Joint Venture Project with BHEL, through a Joint Venture Company viz.
Udangudi Power Corporation Limited (UPCL). Subsequently TANGEDCO decided to proceed
with the project under State Sector and purchased all BHEL shares in Udangudi Power
Corporation Limited. Now TANGEDCO is preceding the project with the standardized unit
capacity to 2 x 660 MW. The project activities are under way.
TANGEDCO is studying the feasibility of developing additional 2 X 660 MW (3 rd Unit and
4th Units) as Stage-II and 2 X 660 MW (5th Unit and 6th Units) as Stage-III of the Udangudi
Project.

PROJECT STATUS: STAGE-I
3.1
Land
TN Government has alienated to the project about 305.31.1 hectares for industry and 1.23.5
hectares for cooling water corridor totaling 306.54.5 Hectares.
3.2
Public hearing
Public hearing for the Power plant including coal jetty and CRZ facilities has already been
completed on 07.02.2009.
3.3
EIA Studies
The Environmental Impact Assessment study for the above project (2X800 MW) was studied
by M/s. Bhagavathy Ana Labs, Hyderabad to satisfy the ambient and air quality standards.
3.4
Coal linkage
The application for the coal linkage was filed during December 2007 to Ministry Of Coal. As
on date no allocation is made by the Standing Linkage Committee (Long Term) for any of the
12th Plan projects in the country, hence TANGEDCO considered Imported coal from
Indonesia as the primary fuel for the proposed plant. The annual consumption of imported
coal with GCV of 5700 kcal/kg for 2 x 660 MW power plants is estimated as 3.87 Million
tonnes per annum (MTPA) considering PLF of 85% and TANGEDCO has entered agreement
with MMTC for the supply of imported coal from Indonesia. As per MOEF requirement,
calorific value of Imported coal will be minimum 6000 kcal/kg. TANGEDCO to approach
MOEF for necessary modification in the MOEF clearance.

Pre-feasibility Report
Access to the site:
The site is located on the Western side of Bay of Bengal. Distance between sea front to site is
about 1.2 km and site is close to the existing State Highways from Rameswaram to
Kanyakumari (SH-176). The nearest railway station is at Thiruchendur which is about 12 km
from the site. The nearest airport is at Vaagaikulam, which is about 60 km from Udangudi
site. The nearest sea port is Tuticorin port, which is about 45 km from the site.
4.2
Construction power
The construction power for the proposed project will be derived from 33 kV distribution lines
of TANGEDCO, envisaged at project site near plant boundary. Suitable 33 kV distribution
substation and HT ring main will be made at project site to feed various construction sites
through 415 V distribution substations.
4.3
Construction water
TWAD has already carried investigation works and finalized the scheme of supplying 15 lakhs
per day of water from its 20 MGD scheme. At later stage the proposal was dropped. However
the District Collector can accord permission for drawal of water less than 1 MGD in
consultation with PWD, W.R.O subject to clearance from Pollution Control Board and
availability of water. For industrial use necessary Government order has to be obtained
through the Regional Chief engineer concerned. As per G.O Ms No. 701, Public Works

Source and Type of Fuel
Coal Linkage
Coal linkage is yet to be finalized for stage-II and stage-III.
Imported Coal
Coal from International market could be procured from countries like Indonesia, South Africa,
Australia, China and other possible sources. With the dedicated jetty being envisaged at port
to unload coal for stage-I, imported coal will be considered as one of main fuel for operation
of the power project. Coal jetty constructed for stage-I will be used for the stage-II and III.
Calorific value of Imported coal will be about 5700 kcal/kg inline with stage-I. The requirement
of coal for various stages is as follows:

11.62
Note: PLF considered as 85%.
In case of imported coal, coal handling, ash handling and operating cost will be less due to
less ash content and high calorific value of the fuel. However, the problems that could be
encountered are possibility of default on part of the fuel supplier, disruption in transportation
facilities, high transportation cost due to fluctuating petroleum prices and fluctuation of Rupee
Vs Dollar rate.
Blended Coal
Blending option will also be envisaged for Stage-II and III. Imported coal will be blended with

will use coal burners of proven, advanced design to reduce NO X production, and the boiler
furnace will be provided with over-fire air ports to further reduce NOX production.
10.1.3 CO Emissions
Carbon monoxide (CO) another kind of pollutant hardly exists in the modern power stations
as design of combustion control equipment and the furnace eliminates, almost completely the
possibility of incomplete combustion. The ground level concentration is expected to be within
the limit prescribed by Ministry of Environment and Forest.
10.1.4 Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM)
For thermal power stations, depending upon the requirement of local situation, such as
protected area, the State Pollution Control Boards and other implementing agencies under
the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, may prescribe a limit of 50 mg/Nm3 for particulate
matter, irrespective of generation capacity of the plant.
The efficiency of the ESP will be more than 99.7%, which remove most of the fly ash from
the flue gas thereby limiting the quantity of fly ash emitted to atmosphere and the height
of the stack which disperses the pollutants has been fixed at 275m to meet the norms of
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
10.1.5 Coal Dust Particles during Storage/Handling of coal
Dust generated in the Coal handling area would be minimized by providing suitable dust
suppression/extraction systems. For the coal stockyard, dust suppression system would be
provided. Boiler bunkers would be provided with ventilation system with bag filters to trap the
dust in the bunkers.
Using supercritical technology will result in reduced coal consumption and have an inherent
environmental benefit also. Reduced coal combustion for power generation will result in
lesser flue gas emissions to atmosphere. Apart from reduced GHG (CO2) emissions, the
project results in reduced SPM, SOx and NOx load on the environment.
10.2
Water Pollution
The wastewater treatment systems will be designed to collect and treat the various effluents
from the site, which are as follows:

Thermal Pollution
According to the Central Pollution Control Board stipulation, the thermal power plants using
sea water should adopt suitable system to reduce water temperature at the final discharge
point so that the resultant rise in the temperature of receiving water does not exceed 5oC over
and above the ambient temperature of receiving water bodies.
For the proposed power plant, a closed cooling water system is adopted and in order to limit
the temperature of seawater discharged to sea, blow down from the plant is considered from
cold side of cooling water. Therefore the temperature of reject seawater at point of discharge
will be same as cold cooling water temperature.
