20268.17 MU generated by Gas-based Power Stations during April-Jan in FY 2022-23: Union Power & NRE Minister Shri R. K. Singh

The Central Electricity Authority under Ministry of Power, monitors 62 gas based power stations, with a total capacity of 23,845 MW using gas as primary fuel. The list of gas based power plants, along with their location, is attached at Annexure.

The requirement of gas for these power plants at 90% Plant Load Factor (PLF) is 115 Million Metric Standard Cubic Meters per day (MMSCMD). During the year 2022-23 (April, 2022 to January, 2023), the total gas available to power sector was only about 16.14 MMSCMD, comprising of 13.21 MMSCMD domestic gas and 2.93 MMSCMD imported Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (RLNG).

During 2022-23 (April, 2022 to January, 2023), the gas based capacity of 9308 MW (28 gas based plants) had NIL generation and the overall Plant Load Factor (PLF) of gas-based power plants remained only around 12% due to less availability of domestic gas and high price of imported RLNG.

In order to meet the projected peak demand of around 230 GW during April – May, 2023, the Government of India approved a mechanism for operationalization of around 5000 MW NTPC gas based capacity during this period. Further, the Government has also planned for additional procurement of power from gas based capacity (other than NTPC Plants) during this period.
