Green Energy Ltd, is setting up a 23-MW biomass power project in
Ramgarh district of Jharkhand, the first biomass power production
unit in the state. The company is awaiting nod from the Ministry of
Environment and Forests and assurance of water supply from the
state government.
Rake Power has
already acquired 29
acres of land for the
project at Bongai
under Gola block of
Ramgarh. The company
is seeking generation
tariff order from
Jharkhand State Electricity
Regulatory
Commission.
The plant is to be fed
by biomass from its
catchment area in
Ramgarh and adjoining
districts. The biomass
plant burns fuels like cotton stalks, red gram, jowar, soyabean
stalks, rice husk and other crop residues along with coal to charge a
boiler fitted with a condensing type turbine of 23 MW capacity.
The project is expected to be completed in 18 months from the
date of implementation.
