Reliance Energy is planning to sign an MoU with MIDC within a week for its two group captive power plants (GCPP) coming up at the Butibori and Patalganga (New Mumbai) industrial areas.

The coal-based 130 MW Butiobri will have an investment of Rs.585 crore while the gas-based 175 MW Patalganga plant will cost Rs.550 crore.

MIDC has already reserved 150 acre of land at Butibori for the plant while 61 acre has been kept aside at Patalganga.

 The GCPP at Butibori will have the potential of supplying electricity to around 1,000 units (kwh) in Butibori and Hingna. The project in Butibori will go on stream in 36 months.

More projects on the anvil: Four more GCPPs of 100 MW each will come up at Ranjangaon, Hinjawadi (both in Pune), Tarapore and Badlapur (both in Thane). Pre-qualification bids for these projects has already been floated and have also received a good response.

Reliance Energy, Tata, Birla, L&T, Wartsila are amongst those interested in the projects. The names will be shortlisted after completion of required procedure.  MIDC had also planned to revive power plants which had become non-functional due to various reasons.

It is for the first time that a GCPP was being promoted in Maharashtra. Under the GCPP concept, the consumer becomes a stake-holder in the project by buying some equity. This is with reference to the amendment to the new Electricity Bill 2002 wherein industrial consumers are allowed to generate electricity by becoming a stake-holder. MERC is promoting GCPPs in Maharashtra on MIDC land to attract new industrial units.
