Captive Power Generation

Captive Power Generation

In 2001, Sarda Group forayed into captive power generation being one of the first in the private steel sectors in central India. Since then, Synergy in Energy has been the Groups’ mantra for self-sufficiency in power requirements and its growth. Power is one of the key inputs in production of both steel and ferro alloys and today the Group has an installed Captive Power Generation capacity of 170 MW.

In 2013, SMAL commissioned a 1x80 MW Captive Power Plant (CPP) with a Single BTG Set based on Pulverised Fuel technology in its state-of-the-art Ferro complex at Visakhapatnam. Environment Conservation has been at the core of selecting technologies and our partners. SMAL has chosen two extremely environmentally friendly technologies for its 1x80 MW CPP – Air Cooled Condenser & Dry Bottom Ash handling system which have led to almost 97% reduction in water consumption as compared to other similar sized traditional units. Our technology partners in this project are:

Turbine & Generator: Siemens, India & Siemens, Germany
Boiler: Doosan Babcock, Korea / Enmass. GB, India
Air Cooled Condenser: GEI, India
Bottom Dry Ash Handling System: Magaldi, Italy
220 KV GIS Sub-Station: Siemens, Germany
Green Energy
Apart from thermal power generation, the Sarda Group has built a substantial renewable energy portfolio especially in Hydro Power generation with ~150 MW commissioned in Chhattisgarh, Sikkim & Uttaranchal. Another ~50 MW hydro power is in pipeline over the next 5 years
