Background
The Hazira (Essar) power station, which was commissioned in October 1997, burns naphtha, high-speed diesel, natural gasoline liquid and/or natural gas. Power from the plant is sold to the company's steel division, Essar Steel: 215MW is captive to the Essar Steel India Limited steel plant and 300MW is supplied to Gujarat.[2]
Hazira II expansion
Essar Energy proposed the Hazira power station expansion (or Hazira II), a 270 MW plant comprising two 135 MW units using "imported coal and corex gas fines from the adjacent Essar Steel corex plant." According to Essar, Hazira II was planned for commissioning in 2015.[3][4]
EPHL started commercial operations of Unit I (135MW) in July 2015. Unit 2 (135 MW) was commissioned in December 2016.[5][6]
Financing for Hazira II
In March 2010, a financing agreement for the expansion was closed. Infrastructure Development Finance Company agreed to provide US$238.86 million in loans, Essar Group agreed to provide US$79.61 million in equity.[1]
