The North Eastern Electric Power Corporation (NEEPCO), a wholly-owned subsidiary of NTPC, declared the commercial operation of the project (4x 150 MW) in Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday.

With this, the commercial capacity of the NTPC Group has increased to 62,086 MW.

The Kameng HE Project (600 MW) is situated in West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh.

It is a run-of-the river scheme which will utilize the flows from Bichom and Tenga Rivers (both tributaries of river Kameng) over a gross head of 536 m available in downstream of the confluence of the River Bichom with Kameng.

The project comprises two dams (Bichom & Tenga) and water is transported through a Head Race Tunnel (HRT) & HPT / Penstock into the Kimi Power House for driving 4 Vertical Frances Turbines, 150 MW each.

“The design energy of the project is 3353 MU in 90% dependable year with 95% machine availability,” NEEPCO says on its website.

CCEA clearance of the project was obtained in December 2004 at Rs 2,496.90 crore.
