450 MW Gas Based Combined Cycle Power Project (2 x 225 mW)

Key Highlights of the Project

• Entire project is on 37 acres land (plus additional 4 acres).


• The project site is located about 6 km from Kashipur town at Udham Singh Nagar district in Uttarakhand (India)


• Nearest highway is NH-74: ~6 km from project site (NH-74 connects Haridwar to Bareilly)


• Nearest railway station is at Kashipur.


• Nearest airport is Pantnagar: ~55 km from project site.


• Strategically located close to the main Gas trunk-line allows easy access to gas required for the project – Close proximity to the proposed 105 KM Karanpur – Moradabad – Kashipur GAIL pipeline.


• High proximity to Power Transmission Corporation of Uttarakhand Ltd. (PTCUL) and Power Grid Corporation of India Ltd. (PGCIL), facilitates power evacuation .


• Ideally placed in the power deficit region in North India.


• Project configuration consists of 4 units of Gas Turbine Generator (GTG) of 75 MW each, 4 Heat Recovery Steam Generator (HRSG) and 2 Steam turbines of 75MWcapacity.


• The Company has signed PPA with UPCL (For Phase#1) for sale of 214 MW (225 ISO Conditions) power for 25 years.


• The Company has secured fuel for the project through e-bidding process conducted by Ministry of Power, Government of India till Mar-17 and then further by signing Gas contract with GAIL India/IOCL to meet the future needs..


• Phase#1 225 MW got commissioned in Nov-2016, while Phase#2 is in advance stage of erection and commissioning and is expected to achieve COD before March 2021..

Salient Features

The plant has been designed as an Eco friendly plant with features such as low NOx emission, zero discharge station, rain harvesting and green cover all around the plant covering 33.3% of plant area. We have provision to attain zero water discharge from the plant. The plant has a provision of all safety and security systems including fire detection and fighting system and watch towers around the periphery of the plant.  The other features of the project are as below :-

• Low Land/MW requirement.


• Less water consumption by using Air Cooled Condensers.


• Grid Flexibility.

The plant has globally best equipment and machinery as given hereunder:

S.No.	EQUIPMENT	MAKE / MODEL	SPECIAL FEATURE
1	GAS TURBINE	GE make/ Advance class 6FA	High efficiency , low NOx
2	GCB	Alstom	Best Equipment
3	LV Switchgear	ABB	World class equipment integration
4	DCS System	Honeywell	World class equipment integration
5	Compressed Air System	Atlas Copco	With redundant compressor
6	Switchyard AIS (220 KV)	ABB	Best Equipment
7	Switchyard GIS (400KV)	Hyosung	Best Equipment

In view of above the plant shall operate with higher availability, lower heat rate, lower O&M cost which shall translate into lower per unit cost of energy
