07 Feb 2012 Evaluate

Reliance Power, the Anil Ambani group company’s 2,400-MW Samalkot plant in Andhra Pradesh is likely to be ready for electricity generation this fiscal. It will install six gas turbines at the plant having a combined capacity of about 1,450 MW.

The Ministry of Power had recommended a gas allocation of 9.6 mmscmd per day for the plant, which will be country’s largest gas-based plant worth Rs 10,000 crore. The project is located near the prolific KG natural gas basin and will contribute to reduce deficit in the power-starved southern region.

The company aims to add around 6% capacity to the southern region grid through Samalkot project. Besides turbines from General Electric, other equipment has been supplied by various vendors including Belgium’s Hamon, China’s Xian Electric and South Korea’s Hyundai. Reliance Power anticipates to have a capacity of 5,000 MW by December this year against 900 MW.
