| The Ramco Cements has commissioned the balance capacity of 3 MW of
Waste Heat Recovery System out of 12 MW capacity. With this, total operating capacity of Waste Heat Recovery System for the Company has gone up to 43 MW.
The Company's wind power capacity, including its subsidiary's capacity of 40 MW, stands at 166 MW.
The company further added, 'We have earlier informed of the change in utility of wind power from ‘Sale to Board' to ‘Captive Usage' for 133 MW, out of 166 MW. Further, our application for conversion of further capacity of 33 MW from ‘Sale to Board' to ‘Captive Purpose' is pending with State Electricity Board. The appeal filed by the State Electricity Board before the Honourable Supreme Court of India against the favourable order given by the Honourable Madras High court in favour of the Industries, with regard to Wheeling and Banking of Power from wind mills has been dismissed. Hence, the Company is eligible to get this capacity transferred to captive use. With the average PLF of 25%, the generation of wind power for captive use is expected to be 42 MW.'
