Background
Periyar Energy Limited was established under the Energo Group to develop a 2x300 MW Thermal Power Project in Tamil Nadu. According to the company's website, "The Project will derive its revenue by selling power to captive consumers whereas the surplus power from the power plant will be fed to the Grid in Tamil Nadu." The proposed plant will have two stages, Unit-1 and Unit-2. Primary fuel will be imported coal.[1]
However, as of November 2017 the project has yet to receive environmental clearance, and plans appear to be deferred or abandoned.
