Four New Generators to the St. Louis Station

The organization has prepared a plan which will evolve over time, given the grandisssante request. Thus, the five generators Station St. Louis, which produce 15 megawatts, will be replaced by four new generators of 15 MW each at a cost of Rs 2 Md.

The plan also makes provision for the 100 megawatts that produce CT Power. But over the next ten years, in addition to the 100 megawatts of CT Power, CEB will require 100 megawatts, where changes in St. Louis.

Rs 5 billion for 90 additional megawatts

To meet the growing demand for energy, the Central Electricity Board (CEB) is implementing several projects, including the replacement of the generators of the central St. Louis. Recently, the CEB has invested Rs 5 billion at Fort Victoria to have 90 additional megawatts pending the entry into operation of CT Power and output of 100 megawatts.

Regarding the draft central St. Louis, prior to the installation of new generators, an EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) license is required. Consultations have been held with various stakeholders, including local residents, and a report has been filed with the Department of the Environment.

Increase power generation has become imperative in recent years, especially since the CEB has nearly 420,000 subscribers and in the not too distant past, there was a spike in consumption to 438 megawatts. At this time, the body can produce up to 574 megawatts, but in ten years, an additional 200 megawatts will be needed.

Regarding renewable energy, there is a limit to the amount of electricity generated that can be injected, highlights the CEB. Gas turbines, coal plants, the use of heavy oil and renewable energy have all have their purpose, says it does in the body.
