The Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board Employees Union has urged Power Secretary Bharat Khera to expedite the execution of four small hydroelectric power projects, namely the SAI Kothi-I (15 MW), Sai Kothi-II (18 MW), Devi Kothi (16 MW) and the Hail (18 MW) in Chamba district.
The union apprised the Secretary of the delay in the implementation of these projects due the attempt to transfer these from the HPSEBL to the HPPCL and pending floating of tenders. The projects were returned to the HPSEBL for execution after the Planning Department flagged several issues, including the delay of at least one year in their implementation, over their transfer to the HPPCL.
