BHEL commissions 160-MW power plant in Rajasthan.

State-owned BHEL announced the commissioning of 160-MW combined cycle power plant in Rajasthan.

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

Rajasthan Rajya Vidyut Utpadan Nigam Ltd. (RRVUNL) had placed the order for setting up a gas turbine-based 160-MW CCPP as an expansion project of Ramgarh power plant in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.

With the commissioning of this plant, the cumulative capacity of Ramgarh CCPP has now reached 273.8 MW, taking the gas based generating capacity of RRVUNL to 603.8 MW.

The main plant equipment of all these gas-based units has been supplied and commissioned by BHEL.
