Project Summary:
As power demand outstrips supply in India, the need for further development of hydroelectric plants has intensified. Located in the north of the country, with the capacity to supply clean and renewable energy for more than 800,000 households, the 450MW Shongtong Karcham Hydroelectric project was initiated under a Clean Power Development program. Not only will the project provide affordable power to the residents of Himachal Pradesh, it will also export excess power to other states within India.
