Hydro Power Project

Hydro Power projects are classified as large and small hydro projects based on their sizes. Different countries have different size criteria to classify Small Hydro Power projects. In India, Hydro Power plants with a capacity of 25 MW or below are classified as Small Hydro. Hydro Power was looked after by the Ministry of Power prior to 1989. In 1989, plant capacity up to 3 MW and below was transferred to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE). Thereafter, many initiatives were taken by this Ministry for the promotion of Small Hydro, which included the implementation of a UNDP-GEF assisted Technical Assistance project entitled “Optimizing Development of Small Hydro Resources in Hilly Regions of India” and the India-Renewable Resources Development Project with an IDA credit line having inter-alia Small Hydro development component with a target of 100 MW canal-based Small Hydro Power projects through private sector participation. Subsequently, plant capacity up to 25 MW and below was entrusted with the MNRE in November 1999.

The estimated potential of 21,133 MW from 7,133 sites for power generation in the country from small/mini hydel projects was assessed by the Hydro and Renewable Energy Department (HRED), earlier known as Alternate Hydro Energy Centre (AHEC) of IIT Roorkee and compiled it as Small Hydro Database of July 2016. The hilly States of India mainly Arunachal Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, and Uttarakhand constitute around half of this potential. Other potential States are Maharashtra, Chhattisgarh, Karnataka, and Kerala. Focused attention is given towards these States through close interaction with these States.
