L&T starts commissioning of 99 MW Singoli-Bhatwari hydel project
Larsenand Toubro on Monday said it has begun commissioning of the 99-megawatt Singoli-Bhatwari hydroelectric plant in Uttarakhand.
Situated about 25 km from Rudraprayag, the run-of-the-river plant is capable of providing over 400 million units of renewable energy per annum along the Char Dham route.
The plant features a barrage, with a medium-sized intake pond near Ukhimath, a 12-km long headrace tunnel, and a surge shaft over 180 metre in depth, Larsen and Toubro said in a release.
The plant is devoid of any rehabilitation and resettlement issues.
The wet commissioning process starts with machine spinning of the turbines initially without generation of electricity.
