The primary fuel for the natural-gas-fired power plant is expected to be supplied by a pipeline that Gas Authority of India is constructing to bring natural gas into this region.
GE will supply four Frame 6FA gas turbines and associated generators for the Sravanthi project, which is expected to be developed in two 225MW 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.
The 6FA gas turbine is designed to deliver advanced performance in midrange combined cycle power plants as well as industrial and cogeneration applications, the company said.
Sravanthi Energy is part of the Sravanthi Group, an integrated power sector developer and operator with capabilities in feasibility studies, implementation and operation of power projects.
