for remote locations where grid power
is either not available or has limitations.
Nimmo Bazgo Project is one such
location which was chosen as a Pilot
project. The site offers greater
availability of sun light and is dependent
on diesel power which is not only costly
but has adverse effect on the
environment. With the active support of
the Project, 25 kWp Solar Power Plant
and stand alone lighting system was
commissioned successfully.
Similar powered lightning arrangement
for NHPC colony is being under active
consideration
Techno-Economic Studies have been
completed and the report has been
prepared.
Recently an Expert Group consisting of
representatives from CEA, MNRE,
NHPC, GSI, NGRI & M/s Geo-syndicate
has been constituted to examine &
compile the information available with
various agencies involved in the areas
of geothermal energy for assessment
and development of the geothermal
potential at the puga valley,J&K.
1st meeting of the expert group was
held in CEA on 17.10.07 and a decision
to take up the deep drilling has been
taken. The expert group has visited
the site at Puga during 11th to 15th of
Nov.07.
An MOU between IRTCES, China and
NHPC has been signed in Nov, 2006
for co-operation on various research
areas. Specific research areas relevant
to NHPC needs have been identified
and Interaction for separate
agreements for different areas of
research with IRTCES, China is under
process. For Joint cooperation research
on management of high sedimentation
in short reservoir, detailed discussions
was held between Representative from
IRTCES, China and NHPC on 20th
September 2007 at NHPC, Faridabad
and the methodology, & terms &
conditions of the research cooperation
is being finalized.
The Clean Development Mechanism
(CDM) is one of the three flexibility
Target for the year 2007-08 has
been achieved
Recommendations of the
Expert Group shall be submitted
to MNRE for exploration of
Puga Geothermal Fields, J&K
Individual agreements on
specific areas of expertise to be
formulated & signed.
Validation of both Nimmo Bazgo
& Chutak Projects is under
