The Korba district administration cancelled the public hearing convened Saturday morning to seek environment clearances for expanding the capacity of LAPPL’s power project from 1,920 Mw to 3,240 Mw. The company has set up power station in Pathadi village on the outskirts of Korba city.
The 1920-Mw LAPPL power station has two units of 300-Mw each and two units of 660-Mw each—about 220 km from here. Under the expansion programme, the company had planned to enhance the capacity from 1920-Mw to 3240-Mw by installing forth and fifth unit of 660-Mw each.
