SETTING UP GAS BASED AND THERMAL POWER PLANTS IN ASSAM

---

RAJYA SABHA

The Lakwa Waste Heat Recovery Project (1x38 MW) has been included in the capacity addition programme of Assam during the Tenth Plan. The project does not require Techno-Economic Clearance (TEC) of Central Electricity Authority (CEA) as the cost of the project is less than the limite prescribed by the Government for appraisal of projects. The project can be commissioning within 21 months from the date of placement or order on turn-key basis. CEA’s comments on the technical and cost aspects have been communicated to the Assam State Electricity Board (ASEB).

This information was given by Smt. Jayawanti Mehta, Minister of State for Power in a written reply to a question by Shri Dwijendera Nath Sharmah in Rajya Sabha today.
