JAMMU: The Jammu and Kashmir government said on Saturday that the gas turbine at Pampore is going through the process of decommissioning and its over-56-acre land is being utilised to set up the largest utility-scale power plant in the Union Territory.
Chief Minister Omar Abdullah, who is also the minister in-charge for power, shared the information in a written reply to an unstarred question from National Conference (NC) legislator Hasnain Masoodi in the Legislative Assembly.
“The total land area under Gas Turbine Phase-I (3×25 = 75 MW) and Phase-II (4×25 = 100 MW) is 56.287 acre. The facility has been lying idle without any generation since 2010, with a brief operational period for one unit in 2012,” Abdullah said.
