30 Jun 2011 Evaluate

NHPC will soon finalise a joint venture with the Orissa government for setting up three hydel projects having a total capacity of 300 MW in the state. The three proposed hydro power projects would come up at Sindol, near Dhenkanal. NHPC would have a 51% stake in the joint venture, while the remaining 49 per cent would be with the Orissa government.

Orissa has hydro power generation capacity of over 2,000 MW, with contributions from plants at Hirakud, Balimela, Rengali, Upper Kolab, Upper Indravati and Macchkund. Meanwhile, NHPC is also looking at expanding its presence into other states, including Uttarakhand. The state-run entity has an installed capacity of about 5,300 MW and is planning to add around 700 MW by commissioning five projects by March, 2012. At present, NHPC is engaged in the construction of ten projects, having a total capacity of 4,502 MW.  The upcoming projects are Chutak (44 MW), Uri-II (240 MW), Chamera-III (231 MW), the first unit of Parbati-III (130 MW) and Nimmo-Bazgo (45 MW).crackcrack
