TANGEDCO will build re-gasified liquified natural gas power projects.

Story so far: The state-owned power utility decided to build a plant in Basin Bridge. However, the government asked it to be shifted to the decommissioned thermal power station site in Ennore. After hiring a consultant last April and tenders floated, there was a poor response.

  • The conditions were the bidder must have completed the dismantling work of scraps, equipment, and structures to a value of not less than ₹23 crores with TANGEDCO or others in the last 15 years.
  • Assets, materials, and equipment will be removed from the decommissioned plant. TANGEDCO will build re-gasified liquefied natural gas (R-LNG) power projects totalling 2,000 MW.
