Megha Engineering to Set Up Two Pumped Storage Hydro Projects

Megha Engineering & Infrastructures (MEIL) will invest Rs 21,000 crore in setting up two pumped storage hydro projects in Maharashtra with a total capacity of 4,000 MW. MEIL signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Water Resources Department (WRD), Maharashtra in the presence of Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis.

 

This includes Kamod pumped storage project in Nandurbar and Ghosla pumped storage project in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, to be executed under the build-operate-maintain (BOM) mode. The two projects will create employment of around 2,500.

 

The Ghosla project is expected to be completed within three and a half years, while the Kamod project is expected to be completed in five years. The two pumped storage projects will have newly constructed reservoirs – upper and lower reservoirs in a closed loop system, and will provide a minimum of six hours of energy storage on a daily basis.

 

A powerhouse equipped with reversible pump turbines, generators, and other ancillary systems will be installed between the reservoirs that will be interconnected through a water conductor system. The reversible turbines will pump water and generate power during peak demand period.
