BHUBANESWAR: The Centre is pursuing the State Government to adopt super critical technology developed by Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) for generation of low cost thermal power with lesser impact on environment.

Union Heavy Industries Secretary Satyanarayan Das called on Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik here on monday to discuss the new technology. BHEL has been promoting the use of indigenously developed technology for thermal power generation. Apart from the low cost factor, the technology is environment friendly, Das told mediapersons. Besides, installation of 800 MW power plant is unique in the country. BHEL has developed the technology to set up power plant of 800 MW capacity in one go.
