capacity of 645 MW is capable of running on mixed fuel [both Natural
gas and or Naphtha].
Power from the station is supplied to the states of Maharashtra,
Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Goa Dadra Nagar Haveli, Daman & Diu .
NTPC Kawas has state of the art SIMULATOR CENTRE for hands on training
of operating personnel to work in a gas / liquid fuel based power
station
The station has adopted several measures for energy conservation like
Installation of Sides Stream Filtration Plant, thereby reducing the
water consumption from 2000 cum / hr to less than 1000 cum / hr. Mixed
fuel facility incorporated to improving the loading factor of the
station, when sufficient gas is not available resulted in saving in
fuel due to increase in efficiency. Reduction in power consumption at
the Station by replacement of standard motors with energy efficient
ones.
