Due to the electricity supply deficit in the Western Regional Electricity Grid of India, Torrent Power Generation Limited (since amalgamated with Torrent Power Limited) (Torrent) proceeded to set up a new (i.e. Greenfield) grid connected power plant (comprising three blocks with a total capacity of 1147.5 MW). The plant is based on efficient combined cycle technology and can use natural gas or Re-gasified Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as fuel.
