Girinagar Hydel Project : Situated on the river Giri of the Sirmour District, Girinagar Hydel project has an installed capacity
of 60MW, with 2 units of 30MW each. This project, which is
run-off-the-river scheme comes under HPSEB[2] and is operational for 29
years.
Binwa Hydel Project : The project with an installed capacity of 6MW comprising 3 units each, is located near Baijnath in District Kangra. The project is situated 25 km from Palampur and 14 km from Baijnath is constructed at an elevation of 1515 mets. above the mean sea level. This project constitutes a 62 mets. long tunnel that connects trench weirs in Banu Khad and Prahal Khud.
Sanjay Vidyut Pariyojna : Located in the Kinnaur district, on the river Bhaba is a completely underground project with an installed capacity of 120MW, comprising 3 units each of 40MW. The uniqueness of this project lies in its underground switchyard, which no other hydel project in Asia can brag about this feature. Completed in 1989-90, the estimated cost was about 167 crore rupees. The total length of tunnels including those secured in after completing the project is 12 km.
Bassi Hydroelectric Project: Bassi project(66MW) is an extension of Beas Power House (Mandi District) constituting 4 units of 16.5MW each. It utilizes the tail water of Shanon Power House of Joginder Nagar project and generates 145MW per annum.
Andhra Hydel Project : Commissioned during the year 1987-88, the project has 3 units of 5.5MW which makes it 16.5MW of installed capacity. It is located in Rohru tehsil of Shimla district. The cost of the project was estimated to be around 9.74 crores, generating 89MW per annum and it transmitting to the state grid via the Neogli power house near Rampur.
Rongtong Hydel Project : Rongtong is a 2MW project that is located in the Lahaul-Spiti district on Rongtong Nullaha, a tributary of Spiti river. Located at an elevation of 3,600 metres in a snow adhered region, this was the first hydel project executed for the socio-economic upliftment of the tribals of this area. It is one of the highest in the world. The snow fed water runnel tapped at an elevation of 3,788 mets. is diverted through 2,825 mets. long channel and 259 mets. long tunnel into an open reservoir with a capacity of 14,000 cubic mets.
Baner and Neugal Project : With the combined installed capacity of 12MW the projects are situated on Baner and Neugal streams respectively in Kangra District. Both of the streams emerge from Dhauladhar and join Beasin the form of tributaries in south.
Major ongoing projects
Chamera II Hydel Project : Taken up by National Hydro-Electric Power Corporation in assistance of Canada, Chamera Stage-II is a 300MW project comprising 3 units of 100MW each. This project has been signed by the Public Investment Board in April 1992 at an estimated amount of ₹1393.19 crore and 287bighas of land has already been acquired for its early accomplishment. In operation the project will produce 168 crore units of power per year. Chamera-II power project is commissioned project.
Parbati Hydel Scheme : With an installed capacity of 2051MW, Parbati Hydel Scheme is one of the major Hydel projects on the Beas Basin. The project lying on river Parbati, a tributary of Beas river in Himachal Pradesh has been proposed in three stages, Stage-I (750MW), Stage-II (800MW) and Stage-III (501MW). An agreement of execution for this project has been signed by Himachal government and NHPC on November 20, 1998.
Parbati Stage-I : The 750MW project will generate power through an underground power house at Nakthan. 180 mets. high dam near the confluence of Dibi-Bokri nullanha and Prabati river at an altitude of 3637 mets. will create a reservoir, from where the water would be fed to the turbines through 17 km long diversion tunnels. The project will utilize the gross head of about 1420 mets. and would firm up the generation of downstream projects.According to NHPC officials Parbati Stage-I has been abandoned.
Parbati Stage-II : It envisages the construction of 90mets. high dam thus diverting Parbati river at Pulgaby and utilizing water tapped from Jagrai, Hurla and Jiwa streams.
Parbati Stage-III : Tail water from Stage-II in addition to water from Sainj Khad after raising 75mets. high diversion dam at Sainj, will be fed to the surface power house at Larji via 9.91 km long diversion tunnels thus generating 501MW of power.
Gaj Hydel Project : With an installed capacity of 10MW this project is located near Shahpur in Kangra District. Non-availability of funds has caused this project to show insignificant progress. The estimated cost of this project is around 2,815 lakhs.
