	Hydel Power and Poverty Alleviation
		The principal forms of energy consumed in the area are electricity generated from small hydroelectric power stations generating only 46 megawatts of power which falls much short of 95 megawatts, the actual demand in the areas.
		How cheap hydel energy helps to eradicate poverty is shown by the success story of an entrepreneur who installed a one-megawatt hydel power project in Chitral in the year 2001 along with complete distribution network for the southern part of Chitral city.

	The Hindu : Hydel power unit begins production
		He said the Kempuhole Hydel Power Project was completed in a record time of one year.
		Power was being generated by harnessing water from the Kempuhole in the upper reaches of the Western Ghats near Sakleshpur.
		The IPCPL had acquired 4.5 hectares of forest land in the Western Ghats and power would be generated between June and November when there was adequate water in the river, he said.

	Sindh plans to explore hydel power -DAWN - Business; February 14, 2007
		Well-placed sources in Sindh government said Mr Jatoi is keen to explore the potential of hydel power generation at these spots in Sindh and particularly near his home-town Dadu, but is handicapped because of the limited capacity of the province to take up such projects.
		But investor can also explore transmitting and distributing this power to adjoining villages or a small town provided he sets up a small distribution and transmission network and is able to find consumers who pay bills regularly.
		It is hydel-based power plant, supported by a gas-based or thermal plant, to keep generation going when water flow may get low or scarce in certain period of time.

		Using abundant water resources in the country, Myanmar is generating electricity through hydel power stations and at the same time natural gas exploited both inland and offshore areas has been used to generate power.
		Hydel power projects are the most reliable ones for the country.
		Hydel power stations supply 40 percent and gas-fired power plant 60 percent of the daily needs in consumption of electricity in the country.

		Punjab: The current power demand in the Punjab is about 7,027 MW which is expected to rise to 29,103 MW in 2024-25 under the most conservative growth rate of 6.1%.
		Sindh: The current power demand of 2,642 MW in Sindh is expected to rise to 10,993 MW in 2024-25.
		The generation cost of hydel energy is the lowest among all the options but is also more prone to variations due to seasonal, peak vs. average and other effects.

	What's New
		Small and mini hydel capacity aggregating to about 340 MW is in opeation, and Government is determined to provide thrust for developing the assessed small hydel potential at a faster pace henceforth.
		Recognising the problems in operation of hydro power stations in the initial years especially in project with silt laden water, the normative availability factor is proposed to be reduced from 90% to 85%.
		Considering the capital intensive nature of hydel projects especially those of medium size being executed in the State Sector, it is proposed to increase the limit for exemption of CEA clearance from the present Rs.100 crores to Rs.250 crores if the projects are taken in the MOU route.

		When the Government of Andhra Pradesh gave private enterprises the opportunity to generate their own power, KCP rose to the challenge by establishing mini-hydel projects on the Guntur Canal.
		The capacity of four of these power projects is 1.5 megawatts and the fifth is 2.25 megawatts.
		The schemes are unique in that the power house is installed within the main canal itself avoiding the usage of a separate by-pass canal.

		It has been estimated that about 20,300MW of hydel power can be generated in the State by constructing various major, medium, small and mini/micro hydel projects on the five river basins.
		The state government has been giving the highest priority for its development, as hydel generation can not only meet the growing need of power for industry, agriculture and rural electrification, but can also be the biggest source of income to the state by way of sale of electricity to the neighbouring states.
		The foundation stones were laid of 300MW Chamera II Hydel Project in June 1999, of 2051 MW Parbati Hydel Power Project in December 1999, and of 800 MW Kol Dam project in June 2000.

	The Real Power Generation Potential of KBD Project
		However, there are certain disadvantages inherent in the hydel power systems because of their dependency on the waters to flow through the turbines.
		Therefore the constant supply of energy from each hydel power unit will need an additional thermal unit for back up in the winter months, unless some method is used to maintain a constant flow of water into a hydel power dam.
		The most important aspect of our present power generation system of the country is that, all the power stations are independent, in structure and in operation, which will not hold true for the relation of KBD to Tarbela.

	India must tap its hydel power potential : HindustanTimes.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Power sector has taken long strides from a paltry installed capacity of 1362 MW at the time of independence to the present capacity of 109868.42 MW.
		Hydro power stations utilise water, as a zero cost input energy source against which there is a constant escalation in cost of fossil fuels used in thermal power station, thus making the operational cost of thermal power stations ever increasing.
		Due to under development of peaking and pumped storage schemes, especially in eastern region many thermal power stations are required to back down during off peak periods resulting in low operating load factor of the thermal power stations.

	NBA PRESS RELEASE: 08 August
		The menacing submergence waters in the Narmada River, assuming horrifying proportions due to the Sardar Sarovar Project, washed away hundreds of cattle, grains and houses in the tribal villages in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh and have destroyed the famous micro-hydel power plant in Bilgaon (Maharashtra), built by the tribals in 2004.
		The submergence waters washed away the well-known micro-hydel power project, which has been a model of the self-dependent and decentralized development, initiated by the people themselves with the judicious use of the natural resources they have.
		The power plant has become a model for the pro-people and environment friendly development, and it is learnt that a Hindi film 'Swadesh' was based on the Bilgaon project.

	The Hindu Business Line : Mini-hydel power stations groping in a dark alley
		MORE than three dozen mini-hydel power stations with an installed capacity of 80.25 MW, which sprang up after the State Government announced a slew of incentives in 1997 for private developers are now a `distressed' lot, thanks to the successive drought years and a change in the Government policy.
		With a 90 per cent water starved year 2002-03, a plant load factor of just 40 per cent and power generation days reduced to six months from the average eight months, the mini-hydels are unable to sustain repayments of interest and instalment.
		He said small hydro power projects (less than 25 MW) need to be encouraged as they can provide energy security, especially to remote areas and can be implemented by private houses at low investments.
