New Delhi: Bharat Heavy Electricals Ltd (BHEL) today said it commissioned six hydro sets with a combined 736 MW capacity in 2014-15.<\/p>\n
This accounts for 100 per cent of hydro power capacity addition in the country in the said fiscal, BHEL said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Also, the highest addition in a single year by BHEL over the last decade, this was achieved by commissioning of projects of three major central utilities — NTPC, NHPC and SJVNL — it added. <\/p>\n
The projects commissioned include two units (200 MW each) of Koldam Hydro Electric Project (HEP), with which NTPC has made its maiden foray into the hydro sector.<\/p>\n
On top of that, a 130-MW unit of NHPC’s Parbati III HEP and 3 units of SJVNL’s Rampur (68.67 MW each) were started.<\/p>\n
BHEL is executing three other hydro projects of NTPC \u2013 Tapovan Vishnugad HEP (4×130 MW), Lata Tapovan HEP (3×57 MW) and Rammam Stage-III HEP (3×40 MW), with a fourth unit of 4×130 MW Parbati III HEP being commissioned.<\/p>\n
In addition, BHEL has started the last three units of Rampur HEP of SJVN.<\/p>\n
These HEPs will contribute to reduction in the greenhouse gas emission and help in achieving a low carbon development path, the statement read.<\/p>\n
BHEL also bagged orders for two major hydro projects aggregating 564 MW in 2014-15 and has so far commissioned some 400 hydro generating sets in the country, with a cumulative capacity of more than 19,600 MW.<\/p>\n
It is currently executing hydro power projects of around 4,600 MW, which are at various stages of implementation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
