Numaligarh Refinery Limited (NRL) in Golaghat, Assam, has issued expressions of interest (EoI) to find power suppliers for its refinery, particularly to aid a green hydrogen project. The company is in need of about 100 MW of fully dispatchable power, with at least 20 MW coming from renewable sources, for this initiative. Additionally, NRL is looking for an extra 100 MW of power starting from the fiscal year 2026. Interested parties are required to submit their bids by April 7, 2025, with the bids set to be opened on the same day. The selected supplier will be responsible for delivering power to NRL at the interconnection point with the state transmission utility at the refinery's 220 kV substation. The power supply may vary according to NRL's load demand over time. To be eligible, bidders must be power generation companies, distribution companies, or licensed power traders with a cumulative operational capacity of at least 50 MW in India. Financial requirements include a minimum net worth of ₹750 million (~$8.76 million) over the past three years for all bidders, and ₹3.75 billion (~$43.82 million) for those supplying renewable and non-renewable energy. NRL is focused on reducing its carbon footprint and has previously floated a tender for a 1,000 MTPA green hydrogen generation unit in Assam. The company aims to decrease carbon emissions by 1.019 MMTPA, with plans to replace some grey hydrogen production with green hydrogen. NRL also aims to use more renewable power in its operations and increase green hydrogen production in the future. Moreover, NRL has procured renewable energy certificates and is actively working towards compliance with renewable power purchase obligations. The company aims to significantly ramp up its green hydrogen production, targeting 15 KTPA by 2030 and 20 KTPA by 2035.
