==The Project==
The West Bengal Power Development Corporation Ltd is a Government of West Bengal owned enterprise entrusted with thermal and solar power generation and supply maintaining environmental aspects and social responsibilities. WBPDCL are in Kolaghat (210 MWx4), Bakreswar (210 MWx5) Sagardighi (300MWx2+500MWx2+660MWx1 {under construction}), Santaldihi (250 MWx2) and Bandel (60MWx2+215MWx1)l. The registered & Corporate Office of The WBPDCL is at Bidyut Unnyan Bhaban, Plot– 3/C, LA-Block, Sector-III, SaltLake City, Kolkata-700106.
The foundation stone of Sagardighi Thermal Power Plant (Sg.T.P.P) laid by Former Chief Minister of West Bengal Mr. Buddhadeb Bhattacharya in the year of 2008 at surrounding an area of about 765 Hectors of land, located at Manigram Village, 13 KM north of Sagardighi town by the side of Sagardighi-Manigram-Gankar– Raghunathganj Road at a distance 20 KM from National Highway 34 in Murshidabad District, West Bengal and around 240 KM from Kolkata. The nearest rail station is Manigram on Bandel– Barhawara branch line and 6.5 KM from Sagardighi Railway Station on Sainthia– Azimgunj line of Eastern Railway.
In the first phase, two units of 300 MW each were synchronized on 21.12.2007 and 13.08.2008 respectively. The Main Plant Package was awarded to DEC, China. For Second Phase, the Main Plant Package was awarded to BHEL. In the second phase, two units of 500 MW each were synchronized on 31.03.2015 and 15.10.2015 respectively. The 3rd phase Unit of 660 MW is going to be completed shortly. Seriously considering alternative Green sources largest floating Solar Power Plant to be set up at Sg.T.P.P and accordingly project execution is under progress. Sg.T.P.P evacuate power through existing Grid system in Sagardighi, Subhasgram, Farakka, Baharampur, Gokarna and Jeerat.
Coal Linkage is made with Captive Coal Mines Pachawar North and East of Damagaria Coal Mines. Raw water is primarily obtained from nearest Bhagirathi River and fed at raw water pond inside the plant.
Consecutive last few years Sg.T.P.P generating more Power and achieved the position of 5th Best Power Generating plant in India declared by Central Electricity Authority for the year 2022-2023.
The project was developed by the Chinese firm, [[Dongfang Electric Corporation]], at a cost of [[Rs.]] 27.50 billion.<ref>{{cite web | url =http://www.projectstoday.com/News/NewsDetails.aspx?Nid=22490 | title = Sagardighi power plant to begin generation by August | publisher = Projects Today, 17 July 2008 | access-date = 14 February 2009}}</ref> The power plant had provided employment for about 2,000 people. The state government had acquired {{convert|1600|acres}} of land without resistance.2×300 MW & 2×500 MW total generation now is 1600. Another 1×660 MW is planned for which EPC contract has been to awarded to public sector engineering major [[BHEL]] at cost of around INR 3500 crore.<ref>{{cite news | url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-cm/bhel-bags-rs-3500-cr-for-setting-up-660-mw-supercritical-thermal-power-plant-in-west-bengal-118123100243_1.html | title= BHEL bags Rs 3500 cr for setting up 660 MW Supercritical Thermal Power Plant in West Bengal | date=31 December 2018 | newspaper=Business Standard | access-date=7 September 2019 }}</ref>
