Gseg project

COMPANY INTRODUCTION

GSEG (Gujarat State Energy Generation Ltd.) is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)

formed by GSPC (Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation) to generate power in Gujarat

by harnessing the eco-friendly and economical natural gas.

GSEG is part of the GSPC Group's overall strategy of establishing a presence in both

the upstream and downstream segments of the energy value chain.

The company is committed to using innovative, advanced and reliable technology for

producing gas-based power.

GSEG was set up in 1998 as a power generation company. GSEG owns and operates

a gas based power plant in Hazira that was commissioned in 2002.

The plant was set up to provide electricity for the Gujarat state grid, with all

electricity currently produced at the plant sold to Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited

(GUVNL), a Government of Gujarat owned electricity company.

 GSEG is in the process of extending the capacity of its Hazira plant. It has entered

into a gas purchase contract with us to provide the gas required for the expanded

plant, effective for 20 years from commissioning, with the gas to be bought at

mutually agreed prices.

The additional power to be generated will be bought by GUVNL pursuant to a 20 year

procurement contract effective from commissioning.

HISTORY

Diversifying into power 

GSPC Group decided to move into power generation as a part of its corporate

diversification plan and embarked on a short gestation power project based on the use of

natural gas from its gas fields. The Hazira area of Gujarat was chosen as the site for its first

combined cycle power plant. To implement the project, GSPC promoted a separate company

named Gujarat State Energy Generation Ltd (GSEG).

GSEG, in turn, selected Alstom as contractor for the project through international

competitive bidding. Alstom supplied the plant on a turnkey basis. Its scope included two

4

GT8C2 gas turbines with generators, a steam turbine with generator and heat recovery steam

generators as well as the overall power plant control system. The contract also included civil

works, balance-of-plant and buildings. GSEG employed Desein Consulting Engineers of

Delhi as advisors and to supervise the turnkey contractor's compliance with the plant

specification.

GSEG selected Evonik Energy Services (India) Private Ltd erstwhile Steag Encotec as

O&M contractor for the project. The power purchase agreement for the project was signed

with GUVNL (erstwhile GEB). 

Project Development Highlights

Germination 

Gujarat State Petroleum Corporation Ltd. (GSPC), engaged in Oil & Gas E

& P, decided to diversify into downstream activities for value addition in the

energy business and thus, GSEG was incorporated in December 1998.

PLANS & PROJECTS

GSEG is repositioning GSPC Group's edge in creating better value in the core gas/

energy business chain through a strong, focused and successful electric utility

business in Gujarat.

GSPC Group's integrated business model combines the physical ownership and

control of power generation and natural gas assets with energy and fuel management.

Helping the Group in effectively managing the energy business risks, which include

demand, technologies, fuel prices, logistics and competencies. 

And optimising the value of our diverse portfolio of generating plants and gas assets. 

GSEG manages the electrical utility with

9

Advanced power generation and management practices, and improve the efficiency of

power supply to Gujarat Electricity Board

Operations at least-cost

Full compliance with the health, safety and environmental regulations of Gujarat

Excellent working conditions to optimise the skills and potential of the staff and

managers involved

GSEG has demonstrated that it has the competencies and resources to occupy and

excel in the power generation chain, including design, development, construction and

operations. Soon the chain will be complete with the company's plans to expand capacity

to larger projects and to enter distribution in Gujarat.

Future plans:

350 MW Expansion Plan:

In order to fill the gap of power demand and supply in Gujarat, the Company

has decided to embark upon expansion plan of 1000 MW to be set up in three

stages of 350 MW each at its existing site situated at Village Mora, Taluka:

Choryasi, Surat.

The Company has acquired all the clearance for the expansion like MOEF,

GPCB, water tie up and land availability etc. It already has 28 hactares of land

which can accommodate 350 MW expansions and recently it has acquired

40,000 Sq. Mtr of land adjacent to the existing plant so that in future the

capacity may be further added beyond 350 MW.

For first phase, it floated EPC tender in Nov, 2006 and within 10 months time

it has not only evaluated the tenders submitted by various bidders but has

issued  LOI to the successful bidder which is BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electrical

Ltd.). BHEL will supply the project on EPC basis and would use GE

technology in gas turbine of 9 FA machine. The unit of 350 MW will

comprise of one Gas turbine, one HRSG (Heat Recovery Steam Generator)

and one steam turbine. BHEL is committed to complete the project in 27

months from the date of notice to proceed. The expected cost of project is

around Rs 1150 Crs which is to be financed from debt and equity. 

After implementation of this 350 MW, the total installed capacity of the

Company would go up from 156 MW to 506 MW. 

Existing: 2x52 MW Gas Turbine +1x52 MW Steam Turbine =156 MW

10

Expansion: One GT+ One HRSG+ One ST = 350 MW The power generated

by the Company would be free from pollution. The company is committed to

green environment. It will develop green belt in the plant area itself to promote

greenery as per MOEF’s guidelines.

All the power generated by the expansion shall be sold to GUVNL, which will

supply power to various distribution companies of Gujarat meeting the

requirements of industries and people.

Natural Gas to power

GSEG is in the business of building new power generation plants to meet the

energy challenges in Gujarat, with the most advanced and clean technologies

available in the world today.

Its first and foremost demonstrable success is the natural gas powered Combined

Cycle Power Plant at Mora (Surat), Gujarat, with an installed capacity of 156

MW, supplied by Alstom and managed by Steag Encotec, both world leaders in

advanced power technologies. The Plant was designed, developed and led by

highly qualified management and engineering personnel from all facets of the

electric power industry under the auspices of GSEG

Achievements:

In the present scenario, where almost all Power Projects are facing difficulties and

hardly any new capacities are added to the system, GSEG has created a record of its

own by synchronizing the First Gas Turbine in record time of 17 months and the

Second Gas Turbine in 18 months from zero date of EPC contract. Adding true value

to energy needs of Gujarat, through efficiency, economy and environment friendly

operations.

Protecting Nature:

The CCPP Plant generates power on Natural Gas, an environment-friendly fuel with a

provision to use liquid fuels in emergencies. The plant has been built with a vision to

fuel new power production by natural gas, which produces more energy at

competitive costs and also is proven to be benign to the environment. GSEG has

11

created this engineering cornerstone for energy in Gujarat, using leading-edge

technology and today, operates the power project in the safest, most environmentally

conscious manner. Meeting the twin goals of efficiency and emission reduction.
