The Nellore, Andhra Pradesh-based company said that the scope of the contract includes design, engineering, supply, erection, testing and commissioning of all the balance plant – mechanical, electrical and civil and structural works for the main plant.

The coal-based Chandrapur STPS project has 2,340MW power generation capacity, as on date. This project enjoys the mega power project status and the MAHAGENCO has tied-up with Rural Electrification Corporation to finance this project.

BGR Energy had to face stiff competition from TATA Projects and L&T. This is the second Balance of Plant contract from MAHAGENCO, as BGR had bagged a 500MW Khaperkheda expansion project near Nagpur in 2007.

BGR Energy Systems is a manufacturer of on-line condenser tube cleaning systems, debris filters and rubber cleaning balls, used in thermal and nuclear power plants.
