Uhl Project’s Third Phase to Begin

The third phase of the Uhl hydropower project in Himachal Pradesh is set to commence power generation by January 2025, according to Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu. The Uhl project, a significant renewable energy initiative, is expected to boost the state’s energy production capacity and enhance its contributions to the national green energy agenda.

The Uhl project, located in the Mandi district, is a major hydropower venture aimed at harnessing the energy potential of the Uhl River. The third phase is expected to add significant capacity to the state’s power generation infrastructure, further solidifying Himachal Pradesh’s position as a key player in India’s hydroelectric sector.

Once operational, the project will help meet both state and national energy demands, ensuring a steady supply of clean and sustainable electricity. This phase marks an important milestone in the state's long-standing focus on renewable energy development, particularly hydropower, which remains a cornerstone of its energy strategy.

As India continues its transition towards greener energy sources, the Uhl project’s development aligns with the country’s broader goals of reducing dependence on fossil fuels and increasing the share of renewables in the energy mix. The successful completion of the third phase will not only strengthen the region’s energy security but also contribute significantly to environmental sustainability by reducing carbon emissions.

The Himachal CM’s announcement reaffirms the government’s commitment to timely completion and operationalization of key infrastructure projects that drive both economic growth and environmental progress. The Uhl hydropower project is poised to play a critical role in shaping the future of energy generation in Himachal Pradesh and beyond.
