NHPC has focused to attain general installed capability of 20 GW by way of give up of 2030, according to the corporation’s CMD, A.K. Singh, who became addressing the enterprise’s forty fourth AGM hung on September 29, 2020 through video conferencing.
NHPC currently has beneath-construction hydropower aiming to feature combination set up capability of two,800 mw. Besides, projects aggregating five,945 mw are beneath clearance or approval degree. Prominent amongst tasks beneath production is the two,000-mw Lower Subansiri project straddling Arunachal Pradesh and Assam.
The 20 GW of set up capability will consist of hydropower as well as other smooth power assets like sun. This will cowl capability owned through NHPC, as well as that through its joint ventures and subsidiaries.
Hydropower Acquisitions
NHPC has efficiently received Lanco Teesta Hydro Power Ltd as a wholly-owned subsidiary corporation for the implementation of the five hundred-mw Teesta VI hydropower poject in Sikkim via Corporate Insolvency Resolution Process (CIRP).
Similarly, NHPC has also been declared as a success resolution applicant through the Committee of Creditors of Jal Power Corporation Ltd, a business enterprise implementing the a hundred and twenty-mw Rangit Stage-IV hydropower challenge in Sikkim.
Floating Solar
NHPC has signed MoUs with Green Energy Development Corporation of Odisha Ltd (GEDCOL) to shape a joint undertaking organisation (JVC) to plan and broaden techno-commercially viable floating solar energy tasks of 500 mw in Odisha.
Besides, NHPC has envisaged floating solar projects of 500 mw every in Odisha and Telangana and 50 mw in Kerala under the Ultra Mega Renewable Energy Power Parks Scheme of the Union Ministry of New & Renewable Energy. (MNRE)
Ground-established Solar
NHPC has acquired in-principle approval from MNRE for enhancement of solar park capability from a hundred mw to a hundred and forty mw, in Odisha. This envisages improvement of initiatives of 40 mw and and one hundred mw. Possibilities are also being explored for development of different software scale solar projects in Telangana (293 mw), Tamil Nadu (50 mw) and Leh (50 mw).
NHPC has issued Letters of Award to sun strength builders for Inter State Transmission System (ISTS) grid-connected photovoltaic tasks aggregating to 2,000 mw. Here NHPC will be buying sun electricity from developers, bound via underlying strength buy and strength sale agreements.
Current Capacity
According to facts available, NHPC presently has an set up electricity technology ability of round 7,000 mw, which predominantly includes hydropower (around 6,900 mw) as well as 50 mw each of solar and wind electricity ability.
