Efforts
are being initiated to set up a 1050 MW Gas Based Power Plant in Faridabad under
the State Sector by phasing out the existing, old/obsolete Coal based 165 MW
Power Plant. The gas requirement for this project is expected to be around 5
MMSCMD. Further, the matter is also being taken up with the Ministry of Power,
Government of India, to implement the 432 MW Stage-II of NTPC Gas Based Power
Plant at Village Mujheri in Faridabad,
the Power from which shall be fully dedicated the State of Haryana.
The gas requirement for this project is expected to be around 2.5 MMSCMD. Possibilities
are also being explored for setting up a 600 MW Gas Based Power Project under
Second Stage of Yamunanagar Power Project with a gas requirement of 3 MMSCMD.
HPGCL,
is also in dialogue with M/s. GAIL, M/s. Reliance, M/s. British Gas, M/s. ONGC
