ESG Case Study
India Kinnaur Hydroelectric Power
Generating clean electricity through renewable hydropower and exporting the net electricity to the
regional grid.
This project is part of the Shearwater Group Zero Carbon Initiative – read more about it here.
About the project
This project generates clean electricity by utilising renewable hydropower, then exports the generated net electricity to the
regional grid for sale. Doing so results in the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) into the atmosphere, which would have otherwise occurred due to the production of electricity from other carbon-intensive, predominantly c oal-based power sources. The project converts the potential energy of water flows into mechanical energy through a 12 MW run-of-river
Small Hydroelectric Project (SHP) being developed in the Kinnaur district of Himachal Pradesh. Following the project’s uxiliary
consumption, the generatedelectricity will be exported to the grid for sale, via the Himachal Pradesh State Electricity Board (HPSEB)
