CHENNAI: The Union Environment Ministry has granted an extension of three years for Tamil Nadu Generation and Distribution Corporation (Tangedco) to build and commission the Ennore SEZ thermal power station at Vayalur village in Ambattur taluk of Tiruvallur district.
An Expert Appraisal Committee of the ministry dealing with thermal power projects held a meeting on November 7 and considered Tangedco’s request for extension despite several environmental concerns raised, including disposal of fly ash. The project consists of two plants with each having a capacity of 660 megawatts.
