Power Development in Jammu and Kashmir has
a long and distinguished history. 9MW Mohra Hydro-electric Plant, among the
first of its kind in the subcontinent, was developed as early as 1905. The
estimated hydel potential is about 20,000 MW, out of which projects of about
16,200 MW capacity have already been identified. These projects are
techno-economically viable, besides being eco-friendly and socially
beneficial. In order to harness this potential in a sustained manner, the
Government of J&K established the Jammu & Kashmir State Power
Development Corporation Limited (JKSPDCL) which has been incorporated as
Private limited company on 16th February 1995. The Corporation was incorporated to takeover,
execute, complete, operate and maintain all power stations and power projects
of the State. The assets of all the power projects in the State, both
existing and under implementation were transferred to the Corporation. The
Corporation presently has 20 hydroelectric projects with installed capacity
of 758.70MW located in various districts of Jammu & Kashmir including
450MW BHEP. The Corporation has Gas Turbines based on HSD with installed
capacity of 175 MW at Pampore near Srinagar. In accordance with the State
Hydel Policy, 2003 JKSPDC has allotted 10 small HEPs with a total capacity of
110.50 MWs under IPP phase-I. The State Government is presently reviewing
existing State Hydel policy, 2003 for project implementation from 2-100MW to
make it more investor friendly and thus attract investment and expertise from
private players in the sector on a large scale. J & K State in one its
achievements took lead in award of a mega hydro power scheme on tariff based
competitive bidding process. J & K is
the first State in India to award 690 MW Ratle HEP (mega hydro power project)
on BOOT basis through a tariff based competitive bidding process. The
corporation is also pursuing the development of geothermal project in Pugah
valley of Leh, Ladakh. |
