Baira Siul Power Station (180 MW)

It is located in the Chamba District of Himachal Pradesh at a distance of 135 kms from Pathankot, which is the nearest broad-gauge railhead. It utilizes the combined flow of three tributaries of River Ravi, viz. Baira, Siul and Bhaledh rives.  It has been designed to generate 750 Million Units of energy in a 90% dependable year. Beneficiary States are Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana and Delhi.  

The scheme consists of a 53m high earth and rockfill dam across the Baira River. The dam diverts the water of the Baira and Bhaledh rivers through the intake structure to the main headrace tunnel. The water flows through a 7.63 km long horse-shoe shaped Head Race Tunnel and a 100 m deep, 3.0 m dia drop shaft to the 3 penstocks, each 2.75 m in diameter, a surface power house with three Francis type generating units of 60 MW each. The Power Station was commissioned in the year 1981. The power generated is evacuated through a 96 km long, 220 KV double circuit transmission line in to Northern Grid. Click here to know more.....
