Out of total 46 approved schemes, 21 are being
partly funded by PFC / WB, 5 schemes are
funded from their own resources. The progress
of remaining 20 schemes pertaining to HSEB,
UPSEB, BSEB, WBSEB, ASEB, DPL and
DVC is however, very critical because of
paucity of funds.
3.3 Renovation, Modernisation and Uprating of
Hydro-electric Power Stations
(i) A programme for renovation, modernisation
and uprating (RM&U) of Hydro Power
Stations was formulated by Central Electricity
Authority and presently 55 schemes have been
identified under this programme with an
aggregate capacity of 9658 MW. On a
preliminary assessment, the programme would
yield a benefit of 340 MW by way of
restoration of lost capacity; additional 519 MW
capacity by way of uprating and 1337 MW as
19
prevention of capacity loss. The Restoration,
Uprating and prevention of capacity loss efforts
would yield 6709 million units of additional
energy annually. The estimated cost of the
programme is approximately Rs. 1260 crores.
(ii) Out of 55 schemes, 32 schemes have already been
cleared by CEA at an estimated cost of Rs. 652

of these 32 schemes, 4 schemes have already
been implemented and balance 28 schemes are
under various stages of implementation. Total
estimated cost of these 28 schemes is Rs. 635
crores and the benefits expected after
implementation of renovation works are 1476
MW and 3679 MU per annum.
