The '''Rajiv Gandhi Combined Cycle Power Plant''' or Haripad Thermal Power Plant (also known as '''Rajiv Gandhi CCPP)''' is a [[combined cycle]] power plant located at shore of [[Kayamkulam Kayal|Kayamkulam Lake]] in [[Haripad]] which is [[Alappuzha district]], [[Kerala]], India. The power plant is owned by [[NTPC Limited]]. The power plant is fueled by imported and indigenous [[naphtha]]. Source of the cooling water is Achankovil river at Nalukettumkavala in Pallipad.<br />
