HYDRO ENERGY PROJECTS
HYDRO ENERGY PROJECTS
The steps taken by this Ministry to properly set up Small Hydro Power projects (up to 25MW) are given below:
For Hydro projects above 25MW, Reassessment Studies have been carried out by Central Electricity Authority (CEA) during 2017-23, considering following factors:-
According to this assessment, hydroelectric power potential (above 25MW) of the country is about 133GW.
The list of upcoming projects in Odisha, including projects in Kalahandi, is given at Annexure I. There are no upcoming projects in Nuapada, Odisha.
There is no Small Hydro Power Scheme at present to provide subsidy to the people who want to set up Mini Hydro Power projects. However, Central Financial Assistance (CFA) being provided for the implementation of solar power projects under various schemes are listed at Annexure II.
As on 05.08.2024, a total of 102 vendors are registered for carrying out the installations of the rooftop solar under PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana for the State of Odisha.
Further, to make people aware of the scheme, multiple outreach campaigns have been executed in the State of Odisha, inter alia, including:
This information was given by the Minister of State for New & Renewable Energy, Shri Shripad Yesso Naik, in a written reply in the Lok Sabha today.

Rs. 19,800/kWp
b) Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) Scheme Phase-II (Government Producer Scheme) for setting up grid-connected Solar Photovoltaic (PV) Power projects by Government Producers using domestically manufactured solar PV cells and modules, with Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support, for self-use or use by Government/ Government entities, either directly or through Distribution Companies
Viability Gap Funding (VGF) support up to Rs. 55 Lakh per MW to the CPSUs/Govt. Organizations entities selected through competitive bidding process.
c) Production Linked Incentive scheme ‘National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules’ for achieving manufacturing capacity of Giga Watt (GW) scale in High Efficiency Solar PV modules (Tranche – I & II)
The beneficiaries are eligible for Production Linked Incentive (PLI) on production and sale of solar PV modules. The quantum of PLI eligible for disbursal depends upon:
