LUCKNOW: A 330 MW Shrinagar hydroelectric project has been developed on Alaknanda river in Uttarakhand by GVK Power & Infrastructure Limited.
The project has been developed as a run of the river project and is expected to supply 12 per cent of the energy to the Government of Uttarakhand at no charge. The balance 88 per cent power generated will go to the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd (UPPCL) under a Power Purchase Agreement.
The project was inaugurated by UP chief minister Akhilesh Yadav in the presence of Samajwadi Party President and Union Minister Mulayam Singh Yadav on Tuesday.
Akhilesh Yadav said that the inauguration of the project marks a significant milestone.
This project will supply 88 per cent of power to UP.
GVK Reddy, founder chairman and managing Director, GVK, said that it was his honour and privilege to witness the commissioning of the 330 MW hydro electric project.
Our power plants are benchmarked to the highest standards of efficiency and productivity. This project not only aims to benefit the people of Uttarakhand and Uttar Pradesh, but also aid the nation to be self-reliant, he said.
The project, which is 248 metres long, is 90 metre high (from deepest foundation level) dam. It is expected to utilize the net head of around 66 metre between the diversion dam and the power house to generate electricity. The water conductor system consists of two head race tunnels, RCC troughs, power channel and penstocks.
The power house has four vertical turbines rated at 82.5 MW each. The water released from turbines will flow into Alaknanda through a tail race channel.
