The First Tri-Star Modaraba would set up gas-fired power generation plant, with capacity of 110 mw, at Hawkesbay. In this regard, the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (Nepra) has granted electric power generation licence to First Tri-Star Modaraba, managed by A R T Modaraba Management, under Section 15 of the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power Act, 1997.
The plant, to be set up at a cost of $102 million, would be commissioned/operational by December 31, 2010. The expected life of the facility would be 25 years from commercial operation date. The power of this generation facility would be dispersed to the system of NTDC through the system of KESC, at 132 KV level by constructing a new transmission line, approximately one kilometer in length, by making an in-out of 132KV D/C Baldia-Kanupp Transmission Line at the CCPP.
It would be a gas-fired power generation plant, having combined cycle gas turbine. The Sui Southern Gas Company (SSGC) would be the supplier of primary fuel (gas) through a 16 inches gas pipeline from the network of SSGC to power plant. The alternative/back-up fuel of the power generation plant would be high speed diesel, to be supplied by PSO, Shell, Bakri and Parco.
