The Kayamkulam Thermal Power Plant, also known as the Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant, is a 350 MW power station in Kayamkulam, Kerala. It was established by NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation) and was initially designed to use naphtha as fuel. Due to rising production costs associated with naphtha, the plant shifted to LNG (liquefied natural gas). However, transportation issues with LNG led to the plant being largely idle for several years. The plant is currently exploring the use of methanol as a fuel source.
