India's hydroelectric power potential is estimated at 148,700 MW at 60% load factor. [4] In the fiscal year 2019–20, the total hydroelectric power generated in India was 156 TWh (excluding small hydro) with an average capacity factor of 38.71%. The hydroelectric power plants at Darjeeling and Shivanasamudra were established in 1898 and 1902 ...
Mattupetty Dam (Madupetty Dam), near Munnar in Idukki District, is a storage concrete gravity dam built in the mountains of Kerala, India to conserve water for hydroelectricity. It has been a vital source of power and huge revenue for Idukki District .
This page shows the state-wise list of dams and reservoirs in India. [1] [2] As of July, 2019, total number of large dams in India is 5,334. [3] About 447 large dams are under construction in India. [4] In terms of number of dams, India ranks third after China and the United States.
Today the Koyna Hydroelectric Project is the second largest completed hydroelectric power plant in India [2] having a total installed capacity of 1,960 MW. Due to its electricity generating potential, Koyna river is considered as the 'life line of Maharashtra'. [3] The spillway of the dam is located at the center. It has 6 radial gates.
Tuirial dam is an earthfill and gravity dam on the River Sonai near Kolasib in the state of Mizoram in India.The primary purpose of the dam is hydroelectric power production. The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) approved the 60 MW Tuirial Hydro Electric Project (THEP) project costing Rs 913 crore in 2010. [1]
Within five years, the reservoir got silted up almost entirely. [30] As a result, the reservoir capacity got reduced from the intended 231,000 acre⋅ft (285,000,000 m 3) to 7,000 acre⋅ft (9,000,000 m 3). [29] As per the 1978 Salal agreement, the reservoir had to be maintained at Constant Full Reservoir Level at 487.68 m above sea level. Six ...
[citation needed] The hydro-electric potential of India ranks 5th in terms of exploitable hydro-potential on the global scenario. The installed capacity of hydropower is 45,315 MW as of 31 May 2018. [119] India ranks sixth in hydro electricity generation globally after China, Canada, Brazil, USA, and Russia. During the year 2017-18, the total ...
Map of the major rivers, lakes and reservoirs in India. This is a list of largest reservoirs in India, including all artificial lakes with a capacity greater or equal to 1,000,000 acre-feet (1.2 km 3). In terms of number of dams, India ranks third after China, and USA.
