SRINAGAR — 330 MW Hydroelectric

The SRINAGAR power plant is a prominent hydroelectric generation facility located in India, boasting a capacity of 330 MW. Positioned at coordinates 30.2313° N latitude and 78.7924° E longitude, this power plant plays a crucial role in harnessing the hydro potential of the region, contributing to India’s growing energy needs sustainably. Commissioned in 2015, SRINAGAR utilizes run-of-the-river technology, which allows for energy generation with minimal environmental impact by utilizing the natural flow of the river without significant reservoir creation. This aligns with India’s energy policy goals of increasing renewable energy generation and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The plant’s strategic location in the state of Jammu and Kashmir enables it to tap into the region’s abundant water resources, making it an essential asset for the local grid. By providing clean electricity, SRINAGAR not only supports the energy demands of its vicinity but also contributes to the larger national agenda of achieving a balanced energy mix, underscoring the importance of hydroelectric power in India’s renewable energy landscape. The operational efficiency and environmental benefits of SRINAGAR make it a model for future hydro projects in the country.
