Project to be completed by April 2022
SJVN, a CPSE under Ministry of Power, has completed the tunnel excavation work of its Naitwar Mori Hydro Electric Project (HEP) in Uttarakhand, which is designed to generate 265.5 million units of electricity every year. The state would get 12% free Power as a Royalty from the HEP.
SJVN Chairman & Managing Director Nand Lal Sharma triggered the last blast to mark the completion of heading excavation of 4.3-k Head Race Tunnel of 60 MW Naitwar Mori Hydro Electric Project. The newly constructed Office Complex, Transit Camp and Township ‘Yamuna Parisar’ was also inaugurated at the project site, the Ministry of Power said in a release on 6 July 2021.
Addressing the employees, Sharma said, “We are glad to inaugurate the office complex with all the amenities for the upcoming Naitwar Mori HEP. The project would further accelerate the Government of India’s commitment of providing Round the Clock (RTC) Energy to our nation and will also lead to the achievement of the shared vision of SJVN, for becoming a 25,000 MW company by 2040. Timely completion of the Project as well as the welfare of the employees are the hallmarks of SJVN’s commitment.”
SJVN is constructing its own 37-km Transmission Line for electricity generated from the project which is to be completed by April 2022.
Commissioning of the Project will benefit the Area and particularly Project Affected Families as they will be provided an amount equivalent to the cost of 100 units of electricity per month for 10 years.
SJVN is also undertaking Corporate Social Responsibility related work in the project vicinity. #project #investment #power #contract /fiinews.com
