Dabhol Location: Maharashtra Operator: Ratnagiri Gas and Power Pvt Ltd Configuration: 1 X 670-MW, 2+1 CCGT, 2 X 740-MW 2+1 CCGT with 9001 FA gas turbines Fuel: naphtha, natural gas, distillate oil Operation: 1999-2007 HRSG supplier: Vogt, Kawasaki T/G supplier: General Electric EPC: Bechtel Quick facts: Dabhol is on a 1,700ac coastal site about 160km south of Mumbai. It was originally developed by Enron and budgeted at $2.8bn with 3 X 695-MW CCGT blocks an an LNG terminal. After 7yrs of development, Unit-1 was dedicated in May 1999, about 2yrs behind the original schedule. The $1.8bn Phase-II financing closed in Apr 1999 and in Jun, a $300mn order was placed with GE for two CC 209FA blocks. From Jan to May 2001, the four Phase II GTs were progressively synchronized and steam blows completed on the HRSGs. The Dabhol-2 steam turbine was rolled in April and the Dabhol-3 steam set was nearly ready for testing when work was halted on 17 Jun 2001. In May 2001, MSEB unilaterally rescinded the DPC PPA and Dabhol Phase I was shutdown. Finally, the state government and other parties took over the project, which gradually returned to service during 2006/07, first on naphtha and finally on natural gas as originally designed.
