“The first 660 MW unit at the Sasan Ultra Mega Power Plant has been successfully synchronised on March 9, 2013,” a company statement said.
The first unit would start commercial operations or selling of electricity from the plant in the next fortnight. This is Reliance Power's first UMPP with an estimated investment of over Rs 20,000 crore. The project was awarded to the company in 2007.
