Future Plans
350 MW Expansion Plan:
In order to fill the gap of power demand and supply in Gujarat, the Company has decided to embark upon expansion plan of 1000 MW to be set up in three stages of 350 MW each at its existing site situated at Village Mora, Taluka: Choryasi, Surat.
The Company has acquired all the clearance for the expansion like MOEF, GPCB, water tie up and land availability etc. It already has 28 hactares of land which can accommodate 350 MW expansions and recently it has acquired 40,000 Sq. Mtr of land adjacent to the existing plant so that in future the capacity may be further added beyond 350 MW.
For first phase, it floated EPC tender in Nov, 2006 and within 10 months time it has not only evaluated the tenders submitted by various bidders but has issued LOI to the successful bidder which is BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electrical Ltd.). BHEL will supply the project on EPC basis and would use GE technology in gas turbine of 9 FA machine. The unit of 350 MW will comprise of one Gas turbine, one HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator) and one steam turbine. BHEL is committed to complete the project in 27 months from the date of notice to proceed. The expected cost of project is around Rs 1150 Crs which is to be financed from debt and equity.
After implementation of this 350 MW, the total installed capacity of the Company would go up from 156.1 MW to 506 MW.
Existing: 2x52 MW Gas Turbine +1x52.1 MW Steam Turbine =156.1 MW
Expansion: One GT+ One HRSG+ One ST = 350 MW The power generated by the Company would be free from pollution. The company is committed to green environment. It will develop green belt in the plant area itself to promote greenery as per MOEF’s guidelines.
All the power generated by the expansion shall be sold to GUVNL, which will supply power to various distribution companies of Gujarat meeting the requirements of industries and people.
Natural Gas to Power
GSEG is in the business of building new power generation plants to meet the energy challenges in Gujarat, with the most advanced and clean technologies available in the world today.
Its first and foremost demonstrable success is the natural gas powered Combined Cycle Power Plant at Mora (Surat), Gujarat, with an installed capacity of 156.1 MW, supplied by Alstom and managed by Evonik Energy Services (India) Private Ltd, both world leaders in advanced power technologies. The Plant was designed, developed and led by highly qualified management and engineering personnel from all facets of the electric power industry under the auspices of GSEG.
