The plant, to be developed and operated by JSW Energy, will be a greenfield 2x800 MW super/ultra super critical domestic coal-based thermal power plant, the company said in a statement.

The project was awarded under a competitive bidding process invited by WBSEDCL and will utilise domestic linkage coal allocated to West Bengal under the SHAKTI B (iv) policy.

With this, JSW Energy's total locked-in generation capacity reaches 30 GW, with thermal capacity at 9 GW, it said, adding that the company is well-positioned to achieve its target of 20 GW generation capacity significantly before 2030.
