The 180-MW Bajoli Holi Project in Himachal Pradesh has been put into operation by GE Renewable Energy’s hydropower division, which is a division of GE Power India Ltd. Since the project’s connection to the grid in March 2022, three units of 60 MW each have been producing power, according to a company statement.
The 180 MW run-of-the-river power plant, which features a head race tunnel longer than 16 km, was built on the Ravi River in the Himachal Pradesh district of Chamba.
“The immense hard work put in by them (the GE Hydro Solutions team) to commission all three units within 11 days of water availability while adhering to all quality and safety norms is commendable. We look forward to similar and even more enriching partnerships with GE to further our mutual vision,” said Sanjay Barde, CEO, GMR Energy.
