Parbati Hydro Project Set for March Commissioning
According to the Minister of state for power, Mr. Shripad Nayak, the NHPC Ltd's Parbati HydroPower Project Stage-II of 800 MW capacity is to be fully commissioned by March 2025. The site is going to be in Himachal Pradesh. With partial commissioning carried out since September 2018, this ambitious project has thus far produced around 1,129 million units of power. On the other hand, commission from this project is expected to add vast renewable energy capacity to India, in terms of a reliable source for green energy to meet increasing demands. In addition, the Parbati project reflects the strong commitment demonstrated by NHPC towards sustainable energy solutions in a key role in reducing carbon emission and enhancing energy security.
Centre Approves rs 3,689 Crore Hydro Projects in Arunachal Pradesh
Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs has approved two hydropower projects in Arunachal Pradesh with a total investment of rs 3689 crore. These include the 186 MW Tato-I Hydro Electric Project and the 240 MW Heo Hydro Electric Project located in Shi Yomi District. The projects, which are owned and developed jointly by NEEPCO and the Government of Arunachal Pradesh, are aimed at improving the power supply to the state and providing stabilization to the national grid. These projects, with central financial assistance for infrastructure and equity, are expected to boost renewable energy generation and promote regional development and energy reliability across the northeastern region and outside.
NHPC Aims to Complete Parbati-II Hydroelectric Project by December 2024
State NHPC has declared that all four units of its 800 MW Parbati-II Hydroelectric Project in Himachal Pradesh are on track for completion by December 2024. The projects, which consist of four units of 200 MW each, are a significant step in India's movement towards renewable energy. Upon commissioning, such a scheme will increase in-country hydropower capacity and contribute to sustainable energy goals, as well as reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The project will majorly serve the region's power requirement as it is in a highly energy-rich place in Himachal Pradesh while it also caters to the national grid with clean, reliable power.
Conclusion
The Parbati-II Hydroelectric Project is one of the major thrusts by NHPC in carrying the renewable energy mission of India forward. The project is expected to be commissioned in December 2024 and is anticipated to be fully commissioned by March 2025. It will meaningfully bring enhancement to hydropower capacity and energy security of the nation. The present government has made these moves along with the clearance of hydroelectric projects in Arunachal Pradesh as clearly towards the long-term sustainable energy infrastructure of the country. Such initiatives, in tandem, will curb the increasing energy needs and be instrumental in creating a regional development space while strengthening the national grid with highly contributory advantages to the carbon cutting pledge of India. These developments are vital for an energy future with a greener and more self-reliant India.
