The Project:
Power Plant Vijayawada, Andrah Pradesh in Indien
• existing Power Plant with 6 x 210 MW = 1260 MW electric power
• extension by a supercritical unit with 1 x 660 MW (+ 50 %)
• financed by a bank group under the leadership of a German bank (KfW)
• national Indian and international environmental standards should be met,
German standards should be used for comparison
• an Indian „EIA“ was prepared (together with a German consultant)
• by the opinion of the Indian authority there is no need for the Indian power
company to build a flue gas desulphurization unit
• by the opinion of the German bank this EIA meets not the international
standards and is not basis for a burdening decision
• result: a sulfur balance should be done

View to the Project:
You are involved in the
Environmental Impact Assessment
as a spatial planner!
• how is the environment affected (sensibility of the site)?
• what are the serious impacts (emissions and pollution)?
• how to evaluate the impacts (methodology)?
• which are the special spatial impacts?
