'''Sasan Ultra Mega Power Plant''' or '''Sasan UMPP''' is one of the four [[Ultra Mega Power Projects]] awarded by the [[Ministry of Power (India)|Ministry of Power]], [[Government of India]].<ref>{{cite web |url=https://powermin.gov.in/sites/default/files/webform/notices/UMPP_Projects.pdf |title=About Ultra Mega Power Projects |work=Ministry of Power, India |access-date=1 June 2021 }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.pfcindia.com/Home/VS/22 |title=About Ultra Mega Power Projects |work=Power Finance Corporation |access-date=1 June 2021 }}</ref> It is located in Sasan village near [[Waidhan]] in [[Singrauli district]] of [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Sasan UMPP is India's largest integrated power generation and [[coal mining|coal mine]] project with 3,960 [[Megawatt|MW]] power plant and 20 [[Tonne|MT]] per year coal mining capacity. It is presently the 4th largest electricity generation power plant in India after [[Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station|NTPC Vindhyachal]] (4,760 MW), [[Mundra Thermal Power Station|Mundra Thermal Power]] (4,620 MW) and [[Mundra Ultra Mega Power Plant|Mundra UMPP]] (4,000 MW). The total project value of Sasan UMPP is [[₹]]25,186 [[crore]]s (₹251.86 Billion).

The plant is estimated to have been one of the ten most carbon polluting coal-fired power plants in the world in 2018, at 27.2 million tons of [[Carbon dioxide emission|carbon dioxide]], and relative emissions are estimated at 1.4 kg per [[kWh]].<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Grant|first=Don|last2=Zelinka|first2=David|last3=Mitova|first3=Stefania|date=2021|title=Reducing CO2 emissions by targeting the world’s hyper-polluting power plants|url=http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1748-9326/ac13f1|journal=Environmental Research Letters|language=en|doi=10.1088/1748-9326/ac13f1|issn=1748-9326|doi-access=free}}</ref>

==History==
The plant is operated by '''Sasan Power Limited''' (SPL), a subsidiary of [[Reliance Power Limited]]. SPL was incorporated on 10 February 2006. The [[Letter of Intent]] (LoI) was awarded to Reliance Power on 01 August 2007 and the [[Power purchase agreement]] (PPA) was signed on 07 August 2007. As of March 2020, it provides electricity to 13 million customers across 7 states of India. The [[Engineering, procurement and construction]] (EPC) contract was given to [[Reliance Infrastructure]].

==Coal Mines==
The Sasan UMPP is a pit-head power project, which has been allocated 3 captive coal mine blocks: Moher, Moher-Amlohri extension and Chhatrasal in Singrauli, [[Madhya Pradesh]]. Reserves are in excess of 750 million tonnes. Together, the mines produce 20 million tonnes of coal each year, making it the largest integrated power plant and coal mines project in India.

==Installed capacity==
Following is the unit-wise capacity of the '''3,960 MW''' plant. There are 6 units of 660 [[Megawatt|MW]] each.
