NTPC Limited invites Expressions of Interest (Img: PinteresT)
New Delhi: NTPC Limited, India's largest integrated power utility, has invited Expressions of Interest (EOI) from commercial and industrial entities willing to invest 26% equity in co-generation projects. The initiative aims to develop integrated energy solutions that can meet industrial requirements for steam and electricity while exploring a combination of conventional power, renewable energy and battery storage.
The proposed initiative comes amid growing industrial interest in energy security, cost optimisation and sustainable operations. Through co-generation, industries can produce steam and electricity through an integrated system, potentially improving overall energy efficiency and supporting their operational requirements.
NTPC aims to explore long-term power supply arrangements that can provide industries with reliable and economical energy solutions. The initiative is also intended to strengthen collaboration between the power utility and commercial and industrial partners.
Under the initiative, NTPC is inviting interested commercial and industrial entities to submit Expressions of Interest for participating in co-generation projects through a 26% equity investment.
Co-generation systems produce electricity and useful heat or steam as part of an integrated process. These systems can be relevant for industries that require both electricity and steam for their operations.
The proposed projects are expected to explore industrial energy requirements alongside integrated power supply solutions based on coal, renewable energy and Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The approach aims to address varying energy needs while supporting efficiency and sustainability objectives.
Energy security and cost management remain important considerations for industries with significant power and steam requirements. By exploring integrated energy solutions, NTPC aims to support industrial operations through long-term supply arrangements.
The initiative also reflects the company's broader effort to expand its energy solutions portfolio and develop new partnership models. NTPC plans to draw on its experience in power generation while exploring solutions that align with industrial growth and the changing energy landscape.
The inclusion of renewable energy and battery storage in the proposed solutions indicates an effort to consider multiple energy sources and technologies when addressing industrial demand.
NTPC Limited currently has an installed capacity of more than 91 GW, with over 35 GW of additional capacity under construction, according to the information provided by the company.
The power utility has set a target of reaching 149 GW of total capacity by 2032, including 60 GW from renewable energy sources. Its portfolio includes thermal, hydro, solar and wind power projects to support India's electricity requirements.
Beyond conventional power generation, NTPC has also expanded into emerging energy and technology areas, including e-mobility, energy storage, waste-to-energy, nuclear power and green hydrogen solutions.
The latest expression of interest for co-generation projects is part of NTPC's broader efforts to explore new business opportunities, strengthen industrial partnerships and develop integrated energy solutions for India's growing commercial and industrial sector.
