Public sector hydropower major SJVN Ltd Chairman and Managing Director Nand Lal Sharma on Sunday reviewed the operational performance of its two mega facilities - the 1,500 MW Nathpa-Jhakri Hydro Power Station and the 412 MW Rampur Hydro Power Station.
He told the media that the SJVN has set record power generation from all its generating units, including renewable projects, in July with 1,580 million units (MUs) surpassing the previous record of 1,563 MU during this month in 2020.
In FY 2021, against the total design energy of 8,700 MUs of its five stations, comprising two hydropower stations in Himachal Pradesh, two wind power stations and one solar power station in Maharashtra and Gujarat, the company has established a new benchmark of generating 9,224 MUs of energy.
Chairing a review meeting attended by heads of power stations, Sharma said the combined team efforts of the officials manning operation and maintenance of both the ‘flagship power stations’ have enabled the company to carve out new milestones in the power generation.
He said that the SJVN operates all of its power stations with the highest level of competence of international standards.
