TamilnaduPetroproducts Ltd. (TPL) in Chennai will get a gas-fueled 15.5 MW captive power plant from Wartsila as part of an engineering, procurement, and construction contract as well as a five-year operation and maintenance agreement.
The two Wartsila 34SG gas engines were ordered as a result of TPL’s intention to switch from using heavy fuel oil to cleaner and more effective natural gas-based alternatives for power generation, the technology company said in a statement. In the spring of 2023, the plant is anticipated to be operational.
TPL must make this switch to more environmentally friendly options if it wants to lessen its carbon footprint in the Manali region.
