plant. Financing closed in September 2000 and in
Apr 2001 the American ExIm approved $5.1mn in
support for the $207mn project, which at the time,
was owned by PSEG Global and GMR in a 49:51
joint venture. The 106m barge was built in Ulsan and
moored in the Gurupur River in Mangalore. Metso
Automation supplied its maxDNA digital control
system. Simple-cycle operations started in Jun
2001 when it was considered the largest singlebarge, generating facility in the world. In Oct 2002,
PSEG sold its stake in Tanirbavi for $45mn. In Jun
2008, the original PPA expired and, in Sep 2009,
GMR announced it would move the barge power
plant to Kakinda in Andhra Pradesh starting in Jan
2010. The 1,200km move and dredging on the
Godavari River upstream from Kakinda cost about
R245cr. Fuel at the new site will be LNG and
operation is expected in April 2010. GMR plans to
retain the 30ac Mangalore site plus associated
infrastructure for possible future use.
