INTRODUCTION H-Energy Gateway Private Limited (HEGPL); is proposing to construct and operate an 8 million metric ton per annum Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Storage & Re-gasification Project at JSW Jaigarh Port on the west coast of India in Maharashtra (the “Project”) by entering in a sub-concession agreement with JSW Jaigarh Port Ltd (JSWJPL). The Project is in close proximity to the GAIL’s Dahej- Uran- Panvel-Dabhol pipeline (DUDPPL), as well as the Dabhol-Bangalore Pipeline (DBPL). Accordingly, the environmental clearance was obtained on the 19th December, 2013 (Vide F. no. 10-17-/2006-IA.III). The environmental clearance was for the water front Jetty, the approaches and the on shore facility including the storage tanks (2 nos and with another one in future), regasification, loading and dispatch facilities. However, with the demand for gas especially on the Konkan Coast of Maharashtra, is taking time to pick up and does not warrant establishment of a full scale land based facility. In addition, the establishment of the land based facility would take considerable time, on account of scale of construction involved consisting of 2 nos. 85 m diameter and 55 m high storage tanks among other things. Accordingly, the project is envisaged to be implemented in a phased manner, to use the long construction period. Hence, phase I of the project will comprise Early Production Facilities (EPF) which will be in service for a period of approximately 5 years. By which time, the Permanent shore based Phase II facilities will be ready and FSRU will be discontinued. While the Phase II operation consisting of the land based permanent facility has received the environmental clearance, the present report is part of the documentation for the proposed amendment in the Environment Clearance for the LNG Operation, in order to enable introduction of FSRU (Floating Storage & Regassification Unit) in the interim period while the detailing and construction of the shore based facility continues.

  • PDF File with Dabhol Case Write-Up from Indian Perspective Including
    Dabhol Power Company11 Introduction In April 2003, power cuts and rolling blackouts were becoming regular occurrences in western India, and yet the ~$3 billion 2184 MW Dabhol Power Project in India’s western coast lay idle; after having been shut down for close to two years (~ 22 months). The impasse related to the project is amply reflected in the headlines of two Indian financial dailies, Business Standard &The Economic Times on April 4th, 2003. Foreign Lenders Want to End Dabhol PactPact (Business(Business StandardStandard – AprilApril 44thth)) Slow progress in project restructuring forces lenders to take decision In a major blow to efforts by the domestic lenders to restart the first phase of the Dabhol power project, overseas lenders to the project have expressed their intention to terminate the power purchase agreement (PPA) with the Maharashtra State Electricity Board (MSEB). FII Lenders to Terminate Dabhol PPA (The Economic Times – AprilApril 44thth)) A face-off between the offshore lenders and domestic lenders of Dabhol Power Company is now imminent. Even as discussions were on to restart phase-I of DPC, the foreign lenders have decided to terminate the power purchase agreement with MSEB. The Dabhol Power Project was originally conceptualised in 1992 as a show case project for India & for Enron (the main project sponsor). The project, which was identified as a fast-track project by the Government of India (GoI), was the largest gas based independent power project in the world and was also the largest foreign direct investment into India. It was also Enron’s largest power venture. Yet more than a decade later, the project, which is almost fully constructed and was partially operational, has run into numerous disputes among the various counter- parties and is on the verge of being junked.
