It is also one of the largest portfolios of the power generation assets under development in India. Its 13 power projects are expected to be diverse in terms of geographic location, fuel type, fuel source, and off-take. Also, each project is planned to be strategically located near an available fuel supply or the load center. The identified project sites are being established in western India (12,220 MW), northern India (9,080 MW) and northeastern India (2,900 MW) and southern India (4,000 MW). They include six coal-fired projects of about 14,620 MW to be fueled by reserves from captive mines and supplies from India and abroad. And the two gas-fired projects (10,280 MW) to be powered primarily by reserves. One from the Krishna Godavari Basin or the 'KG Basin' off the east coast of India, and four hydroelectric projects with a capacity of 3,300 MW, three of them in Arunachal Pradesh and one is in Uttarakhand. The Reliance Power has also acquired the two ultra-mega power projects of 4,000 MW each at Sasan in Madhya Pradesh and Krishnapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. The 7,480 MW project to be located at Dadri in Uttar Pradesh is expected to be the largest gas-fired power project at a single location in the entire world. The Company also intends to sell the power generated by such projects under a combination of long–term and short–term PPAs to state-owned and private distribution companies and industrial consumers. Reliance Power's 4,000 MW Sasan Ultra Mega Power Project (SUMPP) using supercritical technology is registered with the Clean Development Mechanism Executive Board (CDM–EB) of United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).
