Agartala. Tripura government has initiated a comprehensive process to convert gas based thermal power plant to combined cycle plant to double the power generation. A senior official gave this information on Friday. The gas-based thermal plant at Rokhia in Sipahijala district, operated by the Tripura State Electricity Corporation (TSECL), currently produces 63 MW of power every day. TSECL Managing Director Debasish Sarkar told PTI, “We are looking to convert Rokhia power plant from open cycle to combined cycle power generation plant to generate about 120 MW of power using the same amount of natural gas.” ”
He claimed that this would double the power generation at the Rokhia power plant. This step has been taken to increase the productivity of the project. The government said, “At present electricity is being produced by burning natural gas which is no longer a viable business. If the plant is modernized (combined cycle), the productivity will be around 120 MW. “The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to provide Rs 845.36 crore for the renovation of the power plant,” he said. The demand for electricity is increasing rapidly. There has been a huge increase in the number of subscribers with 2.25 lakh new registrations in the last five years. Now the total number of consumers in the state is 9.71 lakh.
