Hydro-Energy Sector in India : A Review

Author(s) Dr. Akanksha Srivastava, Dr. Alka Misra
Country India
Abstract Abstract: Hydropower is an important renewable energy resource and clean as well as environment friendly. Energy demand increases due to rapid urbanization and an increase in population growth. So, the time is not very far away when we will not have a sufficient amount of electricity to fulfill our needs. Hydropower plays a vital role in the development of the country because it provides power at a cheaper rate being perpetual and renewable sources of energy. The estimated economically exploitable hydropower potential in India is about 84,000 MW at 60% load factor with a suggested installed capacity of 148,700 MW. The Indus, the Ganga and the Brahmaputra, basins together in the administrative boundary of India could contribute about 80% of the hydropower. The majority of India’s hydropower development potential lies in the key basins of Brahmaputra Basin (66 GW), Indus Basin (34 GW), Ganga Basin (21 GW), and the rivers of South India (24 GW). The country has 197 hydropower plants capable of producing more than 25 megawatts (MW), according to the International Hydropower Association (IHA), plus nine pumped storage stations accounting for 4,786MW capacity. More than 90% of India’s hydroelectricity is operated by the public sector through companies like NHPC, SJVNL, NTPC-Hydro, NEEPCO. Every year around 140 billion kilowatt electricity is produced in India through hydroelectric power plant. There are more than 5000 dams in India. The largest hydroelectric power project in India is The Koyna Hydroelectric Project with the capacity of 1960 megawatt.
Keywords Keywords: Hydropower, Renewable energy, hydroelectricity, pump storage unit, hydel policy.
