Sravanthi Energy Selects GE Gas Turbine Technology

Sravanthi Energy has selected GE's GE flexible gas turbine technology to help meet the growing demand for cleaner, more efficient ways to address the country's rapidly expanding energy needs. A new power plant in the Northern Indian city of Kashipur is expected to tap into India's growing supply of natural gas to generate approximately 450 megawatts of electricity in two combined-cycle blocks. GE will supply four Frame 6FA gas turbines and associated generators for the Sravanthi project, which is expected to be developed in two 225-megawatt phases. Sravanthi Energy expects the commercial operation of phase one to begin in the third quarter of 2011, with phase two in the first quarter of 2012.
