RENOVATION, MODERNISATION & UPRATING OF

HYDRO ELECTRIC POWER PROJECTS

BACKGROUND

For optimization of resources and to tide over the shortage of electricity in the country, Renovation &
Modernisation, Uprating and Life Extension (RMU&LE) of the existing old hydro electric power
projects is considered a cost effective option to ensure efficiency, better availability and also to
augment capacity addition

VIII Plan to XII Plan

The R&M works at 103 (21 in Central and 82 in State Sector) hydro projects (13 upto the VIII Plan,
20 in the IX Plan, 32 in the X Plan, 18 in the XI Plan & 21 in the XII Plan) with an aggregate installed
capacity of 19472 MW have been completed by the end of the XII Plan (i.e by 31 st March 2017). A
benefit of 3635 MW through Life Extension, Uprating and Restoration has been accrued.

During the XII Plan, 21 schemes (2 in central sector & 19 in state sector) with an installed capacity
of 4150 MW have been completed till March, 2017 and accrued a benefit of 549 MW through Life
Extension, Uprating and Restoration.

Programmed for 2017-22

During 2017-22, an aggregate capacity of 9239.80 MW at 49 Hydro Electric Power Station (7 in

Central Sector and 42 in State Sector) is programmed for R&M which will accrue benefit of about
4755.35 MW through Life Extension, Uprating and Restoration. Out of the 49 schemes expected
for completion during 2017-22, 2 schemes in Central Sector with an aggregate capacity of about
213.4 MW have been completed till December, 2017 and have accrued a benefit of 48.4 MW
through Life Extension.

Programmed for 2022-27

During 2022-27, an aggregate capacity of 1956 MW at 17 Hydro Electric Power Station (1 in

Central Sector and 16 in State Sector) is programmed for R&M.
