Himachal Pradesh to get 4 hydroelectric projects.

October 12, 2022

The state will get four more hydroelectric projects, which will produce 281 million units power annually.
The financial assistance agreement for the construction of these projects — Sai Kothi-I (15 MW), Sai Kothi-II (18 MW), Devi Kothi (16 MW) and Hail (18 MW) in the Tissa region of Chamba – was signed in New Delhi between the Union Government and KfW Development Bank, Germany.
The assistance will be around Rs 654 crore, along with a grant of Rs 12 crore approximately.
These projects will help in employment generation in Chamba.
The other benefits include the strengthening of the road, the grid network in the area and better life for people due to better infrastructure facilities.
These projects would be executed by the HPSEBL under the ‘Hydropower in the Himalaya’ programme.
It would help the state to emerge as the clean power state as the government was laying more emphasis on its development.
