SSHEP at Ekta Nagar
Sardar Sarovar Hydro Electric Project (SSHEP) complex comprises two power houses- River Bed Power House (RBPH) and Canal Head Power House (CHPH) with an installed capacity of 1200 MW and 250 MW respectively. Hence, its total installed capacity is 1450 MW.
- The power is shared by three states – Madhya Pradesh (57%), Maharashtra (27%) and Gujarat (16%). This will provide a useful peaking power to the western grid of the country which has very limited hydel power production at present.
- In FY 2013-14, 1450MW SSHEP has put fourth record generation of green power of 5877Mus, which is 178% higher than the planned generation. Up to March 2019, the SSHEP Kevadia colony has generated 4240 crore units’ green hydel electricity.
All these Six units of 200 MW each of RBPH and five units of 50 MW each of CHPH have been successfully commissioned as under:
