Assam Power Sector Investment Program - Tranche 3

Closed

The proposed Lower Kopili Hydroelectric Power (LKHEP) would serve the growing demand for electricity in the state of Assam, sustain a healthy share of clean energy in the Assam grid, and assist in moderating the delivered cost of electricity for distribution companies. The project will use the hydropower potential of the Kopili River, a south bank tributary of the Brahmaputra river. LKHEP is designed to operate as a run-of-river power plant with diurnal storage with a total capacity of 120 megawatts (MW), comprising a main plant rated at 110 MW and an auxiliary plant rated at 10 MW.
