Barh Super Thermal Power Station or NTPC Barh is located in Barh in the Indian state of Bihar.[1][2][3] NTPC Barh is located barely four kilometres (2.5 mi) east of the Barh sub-division on National Highway-31 in Patna district. The project has been named a mega power project, and is owned by Indian energy company National Thermal Power Corporation.
The project has been contested as it is nearby Himalayan Range and needs stricter anti-pollution controls.
The 1,320 MW (2 x 660 MW) Barh Stage-2 built by BHEL is operational while 1,980 MW (3 x 660 MW) Barh Stage-1 was being built by Russian firm Technopromexport (TPE).
Russian firm Technopromexport (TPE) was awarded a contract to provide engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) services for stage one development in May 2005. However, the contract was terminated in 2014 due to contractual disputes. NTPC awarded a £205m ($294m) contract to Korean firm Doosan Heavy Industries & Construction to design, produce and install three 660MW boilers for stage one in January 2016.[4]
Bihar's share is 1183 MW from NTPC Barh (26% from stage 1 and 50% from stage 2).[5][6][7]
The main power plant and the township is spread over an area of 1,186 acres (480 ha) of land, which includes 12 villages.
The then PM, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, had laid the foundation stone of the main plant of stage-1 of NTPC Barh on March 6, 1999. The formal inauguration of its site office and laying of the foundation stone of the training centre at the plant site was done in September 2003.[8]
