Srinagar, Aug 11 (KNN) In order to meet the demands of power in Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir, Power Grid Corporation of India is implementing the Leh-Kargil-Srinagar Transmission System for connectivity in the area with Northern Region Grid at 220kV level.
“Leh-Kargil-Srinagar Transmission System includes 375 km Transmission line at 220kV voltage level from Alistong (Srinagar) to Leh via Kargil with four 220/33kV Sub-stations at Drass, Kargil, Leh and Khalsti,” said a release from the Ministry of Power.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay foundation stone for the first power transmission line from Leh to Kargil and Kargil to Srinagar tomorrow.
The transmission system will be able to facilitate availability of power of about 100-150 MW in the Ladakh region.
The prime minister will dedicate two hydel power projects namely 44 MW Chutak hydroelectric project in Kargil district and the 45 MW Nimoo Bazgo project in Leh district to the nation.
Nimoo - Bazgo Hydro electric Project is a run of the river scheme to harness the potential of river Indus in Leh district of Ladakh region of Jammu & Kashmir. The project is designed to generate 239 MUs of energy.
The 44 MW Chutak hydroelectric Project is a run-off-river scheme on the river Suru, to generate 216 MU in a 90 per cent dependable year having installed capacity of 44 MW utlising a rated head of 52m developed by construction of a 15.0 m high barrage and through 4780 m long 5.9M dia horse shoe shaped Head race tunnel.
The difficult terrain has left Ladakh region isolated with no electrical connectivity with the rest of the National power grid. The power demand of the area has been met by some local small micro Hydel (14 MW) and diesel generators (12 MW). The region is experiencing 95 per cent energy shortage. (KNN/ST)
