Rolls-Royce has signed a contract with Dhamra LNG Terminal Pvt Ltd (DLTPL) for the complete EPC of a 29 MW gas-fired power plant for an LNG terminal in India. DLTPL is a joint venture between the Adani Group of India and French energy group Total . The venture is located on the eastern coast of Odisha in India.

The power plant will meet the baseload capacity of the LNG terminal, and will offer high reliability and, according to Rolls-Royce, availability of more than 98 per cent. The core equipment for the power plant will include three 9.6 MW gensets based on the 20-cylinder Rolls-Royce Bergen B35:40 gas engines. These medium-speed gas engines have high availability and low operating costs.

The terminal is scheduled to be commissioned at the end of 2021, and will be the second LNG plant in India powered by Rolls-Royce Bergen medium-speed gas engines.

Mr SP Singh, CEO of Dhamra LNG, said: “We are delighted to have a Rolls-Royce company supplying us with the critical power system for our upcoming terminal in Odisha. Rolls-Royce selection followed a competitive tendering process and we are reassured by its extensive experience in the area of power systems.”
