NTPC retrofitting units for higher level of imported coal blending

摘要

NTPC Ltd is working on retrofitting its existing coal-fired thermal stations to enable imported coal blending of up to 30 per cent, as against the current boiler design limit of 10-15 per cent in most units. The move, which could boost overall operational efficiencies of generation units, has been necessitated on account of increasing shortages of domestic coal production. In order to have long-term supply arrangement of imported coal, NTPC is scouting for both coal assets and fuel supply agreements in Indonesia, Australia, Mozambique and South Africa
