Directory: 119.8 MW Natural Gas based Combined Cycle Power Plant

GENERAL INFORMATIONThe purpose of the project activity is to set up a 119.8 MW Natural Gas based Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) and export power to the Tamilnadu state power grid. This power plant operating on cleaner fuel like Natural Gas will lead to lower Carbon Dioxide (GHG) emissions for producing equivalent amount of power as compared to the other power plants in the region operating on other fuels like coal/ lignite/oil/ naphtha. The project increased the installed electricity generating capacity of Tamilnadu State Electricity Board (TNEB), thereby helping in bridging the gap between demand and supply of electrical energy in the state. The project will also enhance the economic growth and development of the area. The Natural Gas (about 5,00,000 Sm3 per day) for the power generation is supplied at the plant boundary, through a dedicated pipeline, by GAIL (India) Limited, from a gas station of Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) located at Kuttalam, which is about 8 km from the plant site.
