NEW DELHI: Delhi power distribution companies (discoms)— NDPL and BSES — plan to set up five gas-fired power plants in and outside Delhi. Tata-owned NDPL and BSES of Reliance Energy have written to the Delhi government for allotting them land for the purpose, a official in the Delhi government said. They have also asked the Delhi Development Authority (DDA) to line up available land for setting up five proposed power plants. The matter is expected to be taken up by the state cabinet.
BSES proposes to set up four plants in Laxmi Nagar, Dwarka, Palam and Karawal Nagar by 2009.
NDPL has sought land in Pitampura for setting up an 100 mw plant. It plans to set up the plant by 2008. The proposed power plant would cater to demands of north Delhi only.
Tata Power also plans to set up a 1,000 mw plant in Buland Shehar (UP), from which 600 mw power would be brought to the Capital.
Delhi’s power demand is expected to touch 8,000 mw by 2010. Delhi government officials are of the view that with cooperation of discoms it would not be a difficult task to arrange sufficient power before 2010. Also, the state government is setting its own power plant in Haryana, which would also supply power to Delhi.
