SJVN has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Chhattisgarh and Chhattisgarh State Power Generation Company Ltd. (CSPGCL) for the development of 1800 MW Pumped Storage Project (PSP) at Kotpali in Chhattisgarh.
Total investment for the project is estimated at INR 9500 crore, with direct and indirect employment benefits expected for 5000 people during its development phase.
The Kotpali PSP is an off stream closed loop type PSP in Balrampur District of Chhattisgarh with an installed capacity of 1800 MW designed to generate energy around 3967 MU.
The MoU was signed by Sushil Kumar Sharma, Director (Projects), SJVN, Subodh Kumar Singh, Principal Secretary, Energy Department of Chhattisgarh and Sanjeev Kumar Katiyar, Managing Director, CSPGCL.
The MoU was signed in the presence of distinguished dignitaries, including Vishnu Dev Sai, Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, Lakhan Lal Dewangan, Minister of Commerce and Industry and senior officials from both SJVN and the Chhattisgarh Government.
With increasing reliance on renewable energy sources like solar and wind, PSPs play a pivotal role in ensuring uninterrupted power supply by storing excess energy during non-peak hours and discharging it during peak demand.
This significant initiative will not only boost the renewable energy capacity of the region but also provide a major boost to employment, investment, and overall economic development in Chhattisgarh.
