The Salaya power plant is a proposed 3000 megawatt (MW) power station proposed by Essar Power Gujarat, a subsidiary of Essar Energy. The company has proposed to build the plant in three stages - the coal-fired Salaya I and Salaya II power plants each of 1200MW and the petroleum coke-fired 600MW Salaya III plant. The plant is proposed to be built near the company's oil refinery complex at Vadinar, Jamnagar district, Gujarat, India.[1]

Fuel supply

The company states that coal for stages I will be based on imported coal from the company's "captive coal mine in Indonesia." Stage II will be based on imported coal that has yet to be secured. Stage III will use pet coke from the Vadinar refinery after the completion of the Phase I Refinery Project and coal from an unspecified source.[1]

The company intends that coal for the power station be imported through the proposed Salaya port, which it stated in its April 2010 Prospectus was being "developed by Essar Bulk Terminal, an Essar Affiliated Company."[2]

The company states that it has entered into a 25-year contract from 15 September 2010 with Essar Shipping and Logistics for the carriage of "3.6 to 4.4 mmt of coal per year in bulk from Richards Bay in South Africa, or Tanjung Bara in Indonesia, to the Salaya port in India."[3]

Power Purchase agreement

In its 2010 Prospectus Essar Energy states that on 26 February 2007, it "entered into a 25-year PPA with GUVNL for the sale of 1,000 MW per year of power, with power supply from the first and second units commencing in February 2011 and August 2011, respectively."[3]

Financing

In its April 2010 Prospectus Essar Energy stated that "in September 2008 Essar Power Gujarat entered into a rupee denominated loan facility agreement with the State Bank of India and certain other lenders for Rs. 25.525 billion (US$546.80 million). In addition, in May 2009 Essar Power Gujarat entered into a rupee denominated loan facility agreement with ICICI Bank Limited for Rs. 10.250 billion (US$219.58 million) and with Essar Power for Rs. 375 million (US$8 million)."[2]
