Mumbai: Tamil Nadu Energy Company, a joint venture floated by National Thermal Power Corporation and the Tamil Nadu Electricity Board, will set up a Rs5,400-crore 1,000 MW mega thermal power plant at Vallur in Tiruvallur district.
Both NTPC and TNEB would have equal stakes in the project. Of the 1000 MW power generated by the plant, Tamil Nadu would get a share of 750 MW and the rest would go to Karnataka, Kerala and Puducherry.
The plant would consume 4.62 million tonnes of coal per annum. Coal would be shipped from Orissa to Ennore port, from where it would be transported to the plant by road.
Union minister for power Sushil Kumar Shinde will lay the foundation stone for the project on September 5.
