The first unit of the 726 MW combined cycle power plant being set up by ONGC in Tripura shall start generating electricity soon, an official said today.
"The first unit of the project located at Palatan near Agartala, would start producing electricity soon. A couple of months after the commissioning of the first unit, the second unit will be commissioned," ONGC director of human resources and in-charge of business development and joint venture KS Jamestin told PTI on the sidelines of a function here.
Tripura has a large stock of natural gas and the success of exploration rate of ONGC in the state is higher than in any other part of the country, he said.
Jamestin said ONGC is planning to set up a 102 MW wind power project in Rajasthan, the second wind power project undertaken by the company, he said.
ONGC's first 51 MW wind power project commissioned in Gujarat has already started generating power, he said.
Jamestin further said that ONGC is considering setting up a 102 MW capacity wind power project, expected to cost over Rs 650 crore, in Rajasthan.
"The average annual generation would be in the range of 200-210 million units. One unit is equal to one kilowatt hour, he said.
ONGC is also examining the feasibility of setting up a 501 MW grid connected solar power photo-voltaic project in Gujarat and Rajasthan and some of its own installations, he added.
