Description

A new project is underway to bring cleaner energy to Tamilnadu state in India. The project involves the creation of a 119.8 MW Natural Gas based Combined Cycle Power Plant (CCPP) that will export power to the region's power grid. The use of Natural Gas as a fuel source will greatly reduce Carbon Dioxide (GHG) emissions associated with power generation in the region. Key Highlights: - The new power plant will increase the installed electricity generating capacity of Tamilnadu State Electricity Board (TNEB). - By utilizing cleaner fuel like Natural Gas, the project will reduce 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 will help bridge the gap between demand and supply of electrical energy in the state by increasing the amount of available power. - The project will contribute to the economic growth and development of the area. This important project will not only bring cleaner energy to Tamilnadu, but it will also support the local economy and contribute to the overall development of the region. Verification documents for this project are available upon request.
