A consortium of H-Energy Private Ltd (HEPL) and Excelerate Energy have received a Letter of Award (LoA) from the Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) to set up a 4 million tpy floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) in the offshore Digha region of West Bengal, India.
Darshan Hiranandani, CEO, HEPL, said: “On behalf of HEPL and Excelerate, I would like to thank KoPT for reposing confidence in our consortium. We believe that our project has the requisite potential to act as a gateway for introducing an environmentally friendly and attractively priced source of energy i.e. natural gas to West Bengal, Odisha and Western Bangladesh.”
HEPL has submitted an Expression of Interest (EoI) to the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board (PNGRB) for laying of a 705 km natural gas pipeline, which will extend from Paradip in Odisha to Contai in West Bengal to Dattapulia on the India-Bangladesh border.
