In what could be a first in the power market, Damodar Valley Corporation (DVC) has issued an expression of interest (EoI) for selling electricity from its upcoming three thermal power units totaling 3.7 gigawatt (Gw).
The Kolkata-headquartered company in a public notice of EoI for power purchase has listed three of its under-construction brownfield power units — Koderma (1.6 Gw), Raghunathpur (1.3 Gw), and Durgapur (0.8 Gw). These plants are due commissioning between 2027 and 2029.
“DVC invites EoI from discoms/industrial consumers/traders for purchase of available power from these projects with minimum quantum of 50 megawatt (Mw) from any project in ‘long-term or medium-term agreement mode on first come first serve basis,” said the notice.
