the process of filling 800MW kol dam on satluj river is in progress,the dam will start producing electricity early next year
The Koldam project has 4 units of 200 MW each and the Satluj River is the water source. The first unit is expected in one year and other units at 6 month interval subsequently.
The 800 MW project, the execution of which was started in 2003, has been delayed mainly due to environment and geological hurdles. It is also one of the initial projects proposed by NTPC when it diversified into hydro power generation. The project was earlier slated for commissioning in 2009.
The benefitiary states of the project are Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Chandigarh.
Himachal Pradesh, the home state of the hydel plant would get 12 per cent free power as royalty, 15 per cent at bus bar tariff and 2.75 per cent as the grid distribution share from the 800 MW project.
Bus bar tariff is the cost per kilowatt hour of producing electricity and includes the cost of capital, debt service, operation and maintenance, and fuel.
NTPC currently produces over 41,000 MW electricity and has about 16,000 MW of capacity under construction of which hydro power is likely to contribute over 1,300 MW.
