Burgeoning power demand in the state of Maharashtra has led Mahagenco to seek priority in natural gas allocation from the Ministry of Power (MoP), so that the power company can commission its 1220 MW combined cycle expansion project at its existing Uran GTPS at the earliest. - Accordingly, it has requested MoP's recommendation to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoP&NG) to allocate 5.4 mmscmd of natural gas on priority basis from KG DF6 basin at an affordable price.
- Notably, an Empowered Group of Ministers (EGOM) appointed for gas allocation, had decided that gas from KG-D6 field will be made available as and when projects in the pipeline are ready to commence generation.
- Concomitantly, the power company has asserted that since all preparations such as land acquisition, arrangement for gas pipeline and other statutory clearances for launching the proposed Uran Project have been done with, it should get priority in gas allocation.
