I) MICRO HYDEL PROJECT (2X850 KW)
Guru Gobind Singh Super Thermal Power Station (GGSSTP) near Ropar City having installed capacity of 6x210 MW, draws about 750 Cusecs of water for cooling purposes from Nangal Hydel Channel (NHC).
A new escape cum hydel channel of about 4.4 KM length has been built to discharge above water into river Satluj. The topography of area along the course of above channel permits a net head of about 9.57 M & this head is being utilized by generating power of 2x850 MW i.e. 1.7. MW. Micro Power House has been commissioned on 27.5.2007

The Operation & Mtc. of all the four Micro Power Houses has been handed over to M/S DSL Powers (P) Ltd., Ludhiana on lease basis for 10 (ten) years w.e.f. 11.07.05.
PROPOSED PROJECTS:
I) Shahpur kandi Hydro Electric Project (168 MW)
It is envisaged to develop 168 MW Shahpurkandi Hydro Electric Project. The site is 11 KM down stream of Ranjit Sagar Dam and 8 KM up-stream of Madhopur head works in Distt. of Gurdaspur. It is proposed to construct 54.5 Mtr. high and 725 Mtr. long concrete dam and 7.7 KM long Hydel channel of capacity 385 cumecs. 2 No. power houses are to be developed, one of capacity 2x40 MW and second of capacity 2x40 + 1x8 = 88 MW. All the clearances like techno-economic clearance from CEA, environment and forest clearance of Ministry of Environment and Forests, approval from Planning Commission and TAC of Minsitry of Water Resources have been obtained. The estimated cost of the project is about Rs. 1700 Crores. The estimated completed cost after accounting for interest during construction is about Rs. 2632 Crores. The estimated power generation based on dependable year basis is 815 MUs. The cost of generation will be around Rs.3.50 per unit during the first year of operation. The land for the project stands acquired and an amount of Rs. 130 Crores has already been spent on it. The excavation work of Dam has already been taken in hand.
Now M/s NHPC have been selected as an implementry agency and Bipartite MOU has since been signed. M/s NHPC will revise/up grade the project report and project cost.
II) 75 MW UBDC Stage-III HEP
UBDC Stage-III Hydro Electric Project envisages harnessing of hydro potential to the tune of 75 MW of UBDC Canal beyond the point where UBDC Hydel Channel merges with UBDC Canal. It is proposed to construct a 20.6 KM long Hydel Channel of capacity 375 cumecs, 9.2 KM long Escape Channel , also of capacity of 375 cumecs, 22.4 KM long Alternate Irrigation Channel of capacity 8 cumecs and 0.7 KM long Carrier Channel of capacity 195 cumecs. Power House-I proposed with three units each of 15 MW capacity (total 45 MW) while the Power House II will have two units each of 15 MW capacity (total 30 MW) . Escape Channel outfalls into river Beas about 9 KM down stream of Shally pattan. The project envisages annual generation of approx. 472 MUs. The total cost of completion of project is estimated to be Rs. 640 Cr.
The project is envisaged to be executed on BOOT basis & for this purpose a private developer has since been selected through global tendering. Further negotiations are going on & this project is likely to be initiated within the current financial year 2005-06. The per unit cost quoted by the developer is Rs. 2.69 with Hydrological risk of developer and Rs. 2.50 if Hydrological risk lies with PSEB.
ON GOING PROJECTS (UNDER CONSTRUCTION):
1) Mukerian Hydel Project Stage-II (2x9 MW)
Mukerian Hydel Project Stage-II is located at RD-880 M of the Mukerian Hydel Channel Stage-II, which takes off from Mukerian Hydel Chhannel Stage-I at RD-35500M. The project site is located about 5 KMs from Unchi Bassi and 12 KM from Dasuya Township in Distt Hoshiarpur of Punjab. Two generating units of 9 MW each with Kaplan Bulb Turbine are proposed for the project. The turbines are designed with net head of 8.23 M. The project envisages average annual generation of about 140 MUs at a approx. generation cost of Rs. 1.30 /kWh.
Detailed Supply-cum-Works Contract Agreement for Rs. 70 Crores for Electrical & Mechanical Works on turnkey basis has since been placed on M/s BHEL in May 2004. The original commissioning dates for Unit-I & II were 7.3.06 and 7.6.06 respectively. However due to water logging problem which arose during excavations the commissioning of project has delayed. Now new site for PH has been selected and accordingly new commissioning schedule would fall in the year 2007-08.
