Chamera Stage - I Power Station (540 MW)

This scheme has been executed by NHPC Limited in collaboration with SNC/ACRES of Canada. The Power Station is located near Chaurah Village in Chamba district of Himachal Pradesh. It was conceptualised for utilisation of the hydro power potential of Ravi River available between a point upstream of the confluence of river Siul and Ravi and above the reservoir of Ranjit Sagar Dam in Punjab. It has been designed to generate 1664 Million Units of energy in a 90% dependable year. Beneficiaries are Himachal Pradesh, J&K, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Uttaranchal, Rajasthan and Union Territory of Chandigarh. 

The Power Station is connected to nearest railhead Pathankot by a 97-km road. The underground power house is located at Khairi which is 29 km from Banikhet. The main dam site is linked to the power house site by a 20 km right bank road. 

It has a 140 m high concrete arch gravity dam with submerged spillway, a 9.5 m dia 6.4 km long power tunnel, a 25 m dia surge shaft of 84 m height,  8.5 m dia 157 m high vertical pressure shaft, an underground power house with 3 generating units of 180 MW each and 9.5 m dia 2.44 km long tailrace tunnel. The power generated is fed to the Northern Grid at Moga (Punjab) and Kishenpur (J&K) sub-Stations. The Power Station was commissioned in 1994. Click here to know more.....
