Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project is a proposed nuclear power plant in India.
If built, it would be the largest nuclear power generating station in the world by net generation capacity, at 9,900 MW.[3][4]
The power project is proposed by Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) and would be built at Madban village of Ratnagiri district in Maharashtra.[5]
On 6 December 2010 agreement was signed for the construction of a first set of two third-generation European Pressurized Reactors and the supply of nuclear fuel for 25 years in the presence of French president Nicolas Sarkozy and Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh.[6]
French state-controlled nuclear engineering firm Areva S.A. and Indian state-owned nuclear operator Nuclear Power Corporation of India signed the agreement, valued about $9.3 billion. This is a general framework agreement that was signed along with the agreement on 'Protection of Confidentiality of Technical Data and Information Relating to Nuclear Power Corporation in the Peaceful Uses of Nuclear Energy'.[7][8][9][10][11]
The plant construction was expected to start in late 2018.[1] As of June 2019, NPCIL officials could not give a time-frame as to when the Jaitapur plant would be operational.[12]
In April 2021, EDF submitted a binding technico-commercial offer to NPCIL and hoped to reach a binding framework agreement "in the coming months".[13]
