UTTARAKHAND INTEGRATED TRANSMISSION
PROJECT (WITH ADB FUNDING)
Government of
Uttarakhand has entered into MoUs with
Central Generating Cos. (NHPC, NTPC &
others), State Generating Co. (UJVNL)
and Private Generating Cos. (GMR, GVK,
Reliance & others) for development of
Hydropower upto a total capacity of 6000
MWs (till 2010-11) in Yamuna, Bhagirathi,
Alaknanda and Sharda river basins.
In order to
evacuate such huge quantum of power from
the upper reaches to suitable pooling
points within the State in an systematic
manner an Integrated Transmission
Project is planned to be executed by
PTCUL coinciding with completion of the
Hydroprojects. The Project involving a
huge transmission network of 400 KV &
220 KV Substations and Transmission
Lines (Details under Annexure) is
developed with the twin objectives in
view-optimal power carriage with the
least corridor and forest invasion.
Being a unique
model in the Country involving issues of
intra-state and inter-state transmission
systems, MoP, NRPC and CEA have approved
these projects to be executed by the STU
namely PTCUL.
The Project
involving an estimated outlay of Rs.
2446 Crores is being debt-funded (70%)
by Asian Development Bank with the
balance (30%) being equity-funded by the
State.
Presently project preliminaries
like preparation of Project BOQs, Line
Survey are in progress. A representative
project package schedule (enclosed)
provides a preview of the various stages
of the project. Bid Document and
Technical specification is under ADB
consideration.
Details
of the projects are.
