Reliance Power Lines Up 1.5 GW Overseas Gas Plant, Bhutan JV

Reliance Power Ltd is pursuing a 1 500 MW gas fuelled power project abroad and has already entered several international tenders in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia, where demand for gas based generation is strong.

The company has two ready to deploy 750 MW General Electric combined cycle modules, enabling delivery in far less time than the three to five year lead typically required for new equipment. A third module was earlier exported to Bangladesh for an LNG plant built with Japan’s JERA.

Reliance Power has begun global EPC tendering in line with competitive bidding norms and is negotiating long term finance with leading institutions to secure low cost funding. It plans to unlock up to Rs 20 billion through asset monetisation linked to the project.

In the Himalayan region, the group has partnered Druk Holding & Investments, the Bhutanese sovereign enterprise, to develop a 500 MW solar facility and a 770 MW hydro plant—the largest private Indian investment in Bhutan’s renewables sector to date.

Beyond gas and hydro, Reliance Power is building a clean energy pipeline comprising 2.5 GWp of utility scale solar capacity and more than 2.5 GWh of battery energy storage systems, underscoring its commitment to a greener portfolio.
