NHPC successfully restored 100 MW UNIT#2 of its 300 MW Chamera-II Power Station located in Chamba district, Himachal Pradesh. It has successfully synchronised with the Northern Grid. Final tests and synchronisation activities were successfully carried out in-house by the team of NHPC engineers. Unit#1 of Chamera-II Power Station was already successfully synchronised and with the restoration of Unit#2, all the three units (3X100 MW) are now available for generating the power. Unit#1 and Unit#2 of Chamera-II Power Station were under outage due to fire incidents in which stators of both the units were damaged. The restoration work was a herculean task as it involved integrating new components into around 17 years old units. NHPC through its in-house competencies accomplished the task despite various odds and once again proved its worth in the area of testing and commissioning of Hydropower Units.

Municipal Commissioner Mahendra Singh Tanwar said that this is the first cow shed where the project to prepare lamps and other goods from cow dung has been started.
