PROGRESS OF ON GOING PROJECTS
Koteshwar HEP (400 MW):
Koteshwar Project comprises a 97.5 m high concrete Dam
and Surface Power House, housing 4 units of 100 MW
each and is located around 22 Km downstream of Tehri
Dam. Koteshwar Project is a run-off-river scheme with
minimum diurnal storage. The Project had encountered
some delay in the evacuation of the affected villages. With
the evacuation of all villages by Mar-07, the progress of
works has gained momentum. After completion of the
excavation work in the major areas, concreting work has
been taken. The Project is scheduled for commissioning
by December’10.
Tehri PSP (1000 MW):
Government approval for the 1000 MW Tehri Pumped
Storage Plant, the first Central Sector PSS, was another
major landmark for THDC during the year 2006-07. The
Tehri PSP involves the arrangement of banking
transaction of power, which has been adopted for the
first time in the development of PSS in the Country. Under
this arrangement, the beneficiaries, who supply input power
for the pumping operation of the Tehri PSP, would receive
power in return, after adjusting for losses, during peak
hours, when the demand is maximum. This pioneering
arrangement has set a model for development of the large
potential of over 94,000 MW in PSS in the Country.
The essential works of Tehri PSP approved along with Tehri
Stage-I have already been completed. Major works have
been planned to be executed through an EPC package.
