Reliance taps Black & Veatch for India's largest power plant

Black & Veatch will design Reliance Power's US$2 billion Samalkot power plant in India.

 

The power plant will comprise three power blocks, each consisting of two 9FA GE natural gas combustion turbines, two heat recovery steam generators and one steam turbine and with each block having a capacity of 833MW.

The initial capacity of the Samalkot power plant is expected to be 2,500MW and will provide additional generation to India's southern grid.

Expected to become the largest such power plant in India, it will produce energy to serve over two million households.

Construction work has begun and Reliance plans to bring the new plant into commercial operation by early 2012.
