MEIL- An Integrated Player in the Power Sector || Best Projects in India

  • Electricity has become an essential commodity of modern human life. 
  • The power consumption is increasing as technological developments increases. 
  • Everything from an atomic reactor to a mobile phone needs electricity. 
  • It is the driving force behind citizens welfare and economic progress. 
  • India is the third-largest power producer in the world and the third-largest consumer as well. 
  • China and the United States are ahead of India in electricity consumption. 
  • An electric light experiment was carried out in Kolkata almost 140 years ago. 
  • The entire world has changed with electricity availability. Industrialisation picked up the momentum. 
  • The Governments across the world continue to increase their annual power production capacities. 
  • The Vindhyachal Super Thermal Power Station with a capacity of 4760 MW is now the largest power generation plant in India. 
  • The plant, located in Singrauli district of Madhya Pradesh, is the ninth-largest power plant in the world.
  • India has an installed capacity of 3,73,436 MW of power production. 
  • About 80 per cent of this generated by fossils such as coal.
  •  The share of renewable energy is 17 per cent. 
  • Efforts are underway worldwide to increase power generation through renewable sources due to pollution and coal shortages
  • . The 50 MW Concentrated Solar Power Plant at Anantapur is the second of its kind in India.
  • Worldwide the efforts are undergoing to increase the power generation through renewable resources because of pollution and coal shortage. 
  • The 50MW concentrated solar power plant at Anantapur is the second in India. 
  • The infra major MEIL also excels in this key sector.
  •  It provided electricity to 1050 villages in Telangana and Karnataka. 
  • MEIL has also played a key role in providing electricity to 2 lakh households in Madhya Pradesh.
  •  The company also executed power projects in Uttar Pradesh and Jharkhand. 
  • In just ten years, MEIL achieved these capacities. A decade ago, it did not have a capacity to bid even in 11KV segment.
  •  It demonstrated the capabilities in this sector, and it executed the most complex project in 765 KV segment. 
  • In the solar energy sector, it has set a record by executing concentrated solar power with photovoltaic technology. 
  • The solar PV project in Sakri in Maharashtra completed in a record time.
  •  In a record time of five months, the plant executed with four lakh solar modules, 6000 metric tons of structural erections, 
  • 80,000 foundation, 96 inverters, 120LT / HT panels, 2000 kilometres of cabling and over 10 lakh interconnection. 
  • The 10MW canal top solar project on the Narmada river canals in Gujarat is one of the innovative projects in the world. 
  • The project saved millions of litres of water from evaporation and saved the expenses towards the land acquisition.
  •  The Narmada canal top solar project is listed as 100 most innovative infrastructure projects in the world.
  • MEIL is also partnered in 525 MW Tuticorin thermal power plant fourth phase.
  •  MEIL is executing another thermal power plant in Nagapattinam with 150 MW. 
  • It established India's longest and largest 1.8 diameters MS pipeline in the sea for Krishnapatnam thermal power project. 
  • MEIL has undertaken 25MW Hydropower project on Lambadag river in Himachal Pradesh.
  •  Executing works in this Himalayan region is a geographically and climatically highly complex. 
  • It is not an easy task to execute in such challenging conditions. 
  • MEIL executed the 765KV and 400KV transmission lines for Western Uttar Pradesh Power Transmission Company. 
  • This is the largest project undertaken by MEIL in the power sector.
  •  The substation with 765KV built and commissioned. 
  • This is the largest substation in India.
