The 2,400-mw Samalkot power project would be executed in a record time of 15 months.The open cycle (1,450 mw) the first phase of the project, will be commissioned by March 2012, according to the company.
The entire project would be fully commissioned in December 2012.However, securing gas supplies will be critical to the project commencing power generation.The management is currently counting on the KG Basin gas to run its plants and is hopeful of getting the recommended 9.6 million cu m per day (mmscmd) of gas.
At 9.6 mmscmd of gas, the project will run at 75 percent load factor (combined cycle). If the project gets lower gas than required, then the company will look at alternative strategies for the gas requirement.
