BHEL has commissioned a 160 MW gas turbine-based combined cycle power plant (CCPP) at Ramgarh, in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.

The commissioning of the steam turbine has enabled the gas turbine, which was commissioned earlier, to operate in combined cycle mode.

BHEL had received an order from Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam (RRVUNL) for setting up a gas turbine-based 160 MW CCPP as an expansion project of Ramgarh power plant in Jaisalmer district. The scope of the order involves design, engineering, manufacture, supply, erection, and commissioning of the main plant and equipment for the gas-based power project comprising one gas turbine with generator; one heat recovery steam generator; one steam turbine generator; and associated auxiliaries with controls and instrumentation system.

With the commissioning of this plant, the cumulative capacity of Ramgarh CCPP has now reached 273.8 MW.

The equipment for the project was supplied by BHEL's Hyderabad, Trichy and Bangalore plants, while BHEL's Power Sector, Northern Region, undertook erection and commissioning of the equipment.
