Mizoram plans to set up 5 hydro power plants of 800 MW capacity
The Mizoram government has prepared Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) for five hydro-electric power plants in the state with a total generation capacity of around 800 MW, Power & Electricity Department officials said on Tuesday.
An official of P&E Department said that DPRs already prepared for the Kolodyne-II HEP (460 MW), Tuival HEP (210 MW), Bairabi Dam Project (80 MW), Tuirini HEP (24 MW) and Tuivawl HEP (24 MW).
Four more proposed hydro electric projects are now under investigation stage.
Currently, Mizoram has no major power project and the state presently imports power from the four regional power plants in Tripura, spending around Rs 400 crore annually for the purchase of power from outside.
