NHPC's 240 MW Uri-II hydroelectric project in Jammu & Kashmir has been commissioned by Alstom. The four units were made operational in phases. Alstom was awarded the Uri-II project contract by NHPC in 2007. The scope of work included turnkey execution of the electro-mechanical package comprising hydro turbines, generators and auxiliaries. The 240 MW hydropower project aims to use downstream water discharge of 480 MW Uri-I (already running) hydro project for power generation. It will also provide additional stability to the northern transmission grid.
NHPC is engaged in the planning, development and implementation of an integrated and efficient network of hydroelectric projects in India. It executes all aspects of the development of hydroelectric projects, from concept to commissioning.
