Choudwar power station

Choudwar power station is a 108 megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station in Orissa, India.

Background
The Choudwar power station is currently being expanded with the addition of a 30MW unit to be run on waste gas from a ferro chrome furnace and coal washery wastes. The power station is owned and operated by Indian Metals & Ferro. An additional 120MW coal-based power plant at Choudwar is also currently under construction and scheduled to be commissioned in the first quarter of 2012. The additional capacity would enable IMFA to export approximately 60MW of power to the grid and cater for future expansion.
