Uttarakhand CM Proposes 21 New Hydroelectric Projects

Uttarakhand Chief Minister has proposed the initiation of 21 new hydroelectric power projects, collectively amounting to 2123 megawatts (MW), in a bid to enhance the state's renewable energy capacity. This ambitious proposal underscores Uttarakhand's commitment to harnessing its abundant water resources for sustainable power generation.

The proposed hydroelectric projects aim to leverage Uttarakhand's natural geographical advantages, including its extensive network of rivers and mountainous terrain. If approved, these projects will significantly bolster the state's electricity generation capacity, contributing to both energy security and economic growth.

The Chief Minister's request seeks the Centre's approval to move forward with these projects, emphasising their potential to meet Uttarakhand's growing energy demands and reduce dependency on conventional power sources. The projects also align with India's broader renewable energy goals, promoting clean energy adoption and environmental sustainability.

Upon approval, the new hydroelectric projects are expected to stimulate local economies by creating job opportunities and fostering infrastructure development in remote regions of Uttarakhand. They will also play a pivotal role in mitigating carbon emissions, reinforcing Uttarakhand's role in India's renewable energy landscape.

The proposal signals Uttarakhand's proactive approach to harnessing its natural resources for sustainable development and underscores the state's readiness to embrace renewable energy as a cornerstone of its future energy strategy. If greenlit, these projects could pave the way for significant advancements in Uttarakhand's energy infrastructure and contribute to India's renewable energy targets.
