Prime Minister dedicates three Hydro Projects to the Nation

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi today dedicated three flagship 800 MW Hydro Power Station of NTPC- Koldam, 520 MW Parvati Project of NHPC and 412 MW Rampur Hydro Station of SJVNL projects to the Nation in Mandi , Himachal Pradesh here today. Shri Acharya Devvrat, Governor of Himachal Pradesh, Shri Vir Bhadra Singh, Chief Minister, Himachal Pradesh, Shri Jagat Prakash Nadda, Union Minister of Health and Family Welfare; Shri Piyush Goyal, Union Minister of State ( IC) for Power, Coal , New & Renewable Energy and Mines and eminent dignitaries were present on the occasion.

Appreciating the contribution of Public sector companies in country’s growth, Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi said that these hydro projects will bring prosperity to the State of Himachal and other parts of the nation.

NHPC’s Parbati-III Power Station is a run of the river scheme having a 43m high rockfill dam, underground Power House and 10.58 km long water conductor system. A net head of 326 meter is utilized to run four vertical Francis turbines with an installed capacity of 520 MW (4x130 MW). The power plant is designed to generate 1963.29 Million Units annually. The power generated from the Parbati-III Power Station is distributed to beneficiary states i.e. Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Punjab, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Delhi, Rajasthan and Union Territory of Chandigarh. The Power Station is supplying 13% free power to home state i.e. 12% as home state share and 1% for Local Area Development fund. The completion cost of the project is around Rs 2600 crore and as on 30.09.2016 the total power generation is 1880 MU with revenue realization of Rs 816 crore.

With commencement of generation from four 200 MW units, NTPC- Koldam has achieved capacity of 800 MW and provides peaking capacity to the Northern grid. It shall annually generate 3054 GWh electricity at 90% dependable year basis. Twelve percent of the electricity generated from Koldam is being supplied to the home state Himachal Pradesh free of cost while 1 percent to the state on account of Local Area Development fund. All the Project Affected Families are being provided 100 units of electricity every month free of cost which accounts for 0.62 percent of the total generation. Thus a total 13.62 percent of electricity generated from the plant is supplied free of cost to Himachal Pradesh, remaining power supplied to other beneficiaries namely Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir, Uttrakhand and Chandigarh.

SJVN’s Rampur Project (412MW) in Kullu district will be operated in tandem with Nathpa Jhakri Hydro Power Station (HPS). This project will provide 13 percent free power to the state of Himachal Pradesh.

Allows batch of appeals filed against HC direction on evaluation of price bid
In a major relief to TANGEDCO and BHEL, the Supreme Court on Tuesday allowed a batch of civil appeals filed against the order of the Madras High Court over the construction of the 2 X 660 MW Ennore SEZ Supercritical Thermal Power Project.

The Supreme Court was also critical of the Madras High Court for not exercising restraint and held that the latter’s order “followed the path of error in continuum”.

Though BHEL was awarded the contract for the construction of these plants, a Division Bench of the Madras High Court had allowed pleas of the other bidder, Central Southern China Electric Power Design Institute (CSEPDI) – Trishe Consortium and directed TANGEDCO to evaluate the price bid taking into consideration representations submitted by the consortium, thereby prompting TANGEDCO and BHEL to challenge the order.

In its judgment, a Division Bench of the Supreme Court comprising Justices Dipak Misra and Shiva Kirti Singh observed, “We are obliged to say that in a complex fiscal evaluation the court has to apply the doctrine of restraint. Several aspects, clauses, contingencies, etc. have to be factored. These calculations are best left to experts and those who have knowledge and skills in the field.”

The bench was referring to a Consultant Report which defended the award of the contract to BHEL by TANGEDCO.

The bench was also critical of the Madras High Court entertaining a plea to consider representations before the finalisation of a contract.

“We are disposed to think that the High Court at that stage should have exercised caution. If the courts would exercise power of judicial review in such a manner, it is most likely to cause confusion and also bring jeopardy in public interest,” the judges said, adding an aggrieved party could approach the court at the appropriate stage, not when the bids were being considered.

“Once the price bid was opened, a bidder could not have submitted representations on his own and seek a mandamus from the court to take certain aspects into consideration. We have stressed this aspect only to highlight the role of the court keeping in mind the established principle of restraint,” the Supreme Court Bench said.

The construction of 2 X 660 MW Ennore SEZ Supercritical Thermal Power Project was delayed since there were several rounds of litigation in the Madras High Court over the tender process of TANGEDCO with CSEPDI – Trishe Consortium, alleging “arbitrariness, anomalies and inconsistencies” in the process.
