The Adani group has commenced the full-load power supply to Bangladesh from its 1,600 MW Ultra Super-Critical Thermal Power Plant (USCTPP) in Godda in Jharkhand. The Godda USCTPP, which marks the Adani Group’s entry into transnational power projects, is India’s first commissioned transnational power project where 100 percent of the generated power is supplied to another nation. The power plant is located in the Godda district of Jharkhand and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Adani Group. The first unit of the 1,600 MW Ultra Super Critical Godda Power Plant in Jharkhand began commercial operations on April 6, 2023. The second unit followed on June 26. APJL will supply 1,496 MW from the Godda USCTPP under the PPA with the Bangladesh Power Development Board, executed in November 2017 for a period of 25 years, via a 400 kV dedicated transmission system connected to the Bangladesh grid. The second unit of the 1,600 MW Ultra Super Critical Godda Power Plant in Jharkhand was successfully commissioned. The reliability run rest, including commercial operation tests, was completed on June 25 in the presence of BPDB and Power Grid Corporation of Bangladesh (PGCB) officials. The power supply from the Godda USCTPP to Bangladesh’s grid will further enhance energy security in Bangladesh. The plant is expected to generate 7,200 million units of electricity per year, which will help to meet Bangladesh's growing demand for electricity.
