Alstom T&D India supplies Balance of Plant solution to Super Thermal Power Project

Alstom T&D India has been awarded a contract by Bajaj Infrastructure Development Company, to supply e-BoP (Electrical Balance of Plant) Package for their upcoming 3 x 660 MW Super Thermal Power Project (TPP) in Lalitpur, Uttar Pradesh. The contract is worth approximately 2000 MINR (28.5 million).

India has an ever-increasing need for secure, reliable energy and Super Thermal Power Plants are critical to ensuring this constant power supply across the country. The Lalitpur plant will be a major power supplier to the state of Uttar Pradesh in northern India, which has around 200 million inhabitants.

Electrical Balance of Plant systems (eBoP) feed power to the equipment within a power plant to maximise availability of the power plants electrical system. They are essential for efficient and stable operations. Under this contract, Alstom T&D India is responsible for the design, engineering, supply and installation of the eBoP at the Lalitpur plant, which includes supply of Station Transformers, Unit Transformers and other Electricals for the project. The equipment will be manufactured at Alstom T&Ds state-of-the-art transformer facility in Naini, Uttar Pradesh.
