ONGC has commenced releasing natural gas to ONGC-Tripura Power Corporation (OTPC) paving the way for generation of power by a 726.6-MW gas-based power project at Palatana in Gomati district.
The gas started flowing through a 60-km long pipe connected to the power project at Palatana. The Unit I of the power project is likely to start generation by August 2012. Around 2.6 million standard cubic meter of gas per day would be required when the power project would start generation in full scale. It would take a few months more to make it fully operational.
