CHENNAI: TANGEDCO is evaluating the feasibility of laying a pipeline to transport Regasified-Liquefied Natural Gas (R-LNG) from Indian Oil Corporation at Ennore to Basin Bridge Gas Turbine Power Station with the assistance of a private consultant.
The power station, which has four units with each unit capable of generating 30 MW, was operated using naphtha and high-speed diesel as starting fuel. While the power station is primarily used in condenser mode to supply reactive power to maintain the voltage (110 kV) of Chennai’s transmission network, it is also switched to power generation mode during exigencies such as summer, natural disasters, elections or other situations when demand peaks.
