SJVN Limited has announced the commencement of power supply to the national power grid from its 60 MW Naitwar Mori hydroelectric project (HEP) first unit of 30 MW. This run-of-the-river project, with two 30 MW producing units each, is situated in the Uttarkashi district of Uttrakhand.
Furthermore, in order to evacuate power from Naitwar Mori HEP from Bainol to Snail, SJVN built a 37 km 220 kV transmission line. The first unit of the project is commissioned in six years and the second unit of the project is slated to be completed in November 2023. The annual electricity generation of the project is expected to be 265.5 million units. Uttarakhand will receive 12 per cent of the electricity produced as royalty, following the project’s commissioning.
In November 2023, the Central Electricity Authority approved SJVN Limited’s detailed project reports for two HEPs worth around Rs 400 billion in Arunachal Pradesh.
In the same month, SJVN Limited issued a request for proposals for developers to develop 1,500 MW inter-state transmission system connected solar projects across India.
