1.1 Project Background

The Himachal Pradesh Government had decided to construct a Project namely Koldam Hydroelectric Power Pr 800 MW (4x200 MW) in Bilaspur District. It is situated about 25 km from District HQ on river Satluj and 4 km upstream Dehar Power Plant. The construction of this project has to be done by NTPC Limited (formerly known as National Ther Power Corporation Limited), a Govt. of India Undertaking. In this connection an agreement was signed between H.P. G and NTPC on 26 February 2000. The Honble Prime Minister Shri Atal Bihari Bajpai laid the foundation stone on 5 June, 2000.The estimated annual generation of electricity will be 3,054 GWH (90% Dependable year).

From the Koldam Project alone, Himachal Pradesh will get 12% of the power production free of cost and anoth at bus-bar rate. The Koldam Project will not only provide suitable compensation to the property and agricultural land o but also generate employment opportunities for them. The Koldam Project, along with other such projects, shall bring prosperity in Himachal Pradesh, which in turn, shall contribute to the prosperity of the country. Main Dam construction wok was inaugurated on 14 January 2004 by the then CMD Shri C P Jain. The salient features of Koldam Hydroelectric Power Project are as follows : Main Dam - Height 167 m - Crest Level EL.+ 648 - Type Rock & gravel fill with clay core - Crest Length 474 m - Crest Width 14 m - Maximum Reservoir Level EL.+ 646 - Full Reservoir Level EL.+ 642 - Minimum Draw Down Level EL.+ 636 Diversion Tunnels - Number / Length 2 nos. (T1 900 m. & T2 920 m) - Finished Diameter 14 m ( Horseshoe shaped ) - Design Capacity 6,500 cu m/sec. Penstocks - Number / Type 4 nos. Circular Steel Lined - Size 6.45 m - Length 400 m per each Power House

Land is being acquired in 68 villages for this project. For the resettlement of the oustees, resettlement with mo amenities is being developed at Kangoo in Sunder Nagar. Similar colonies will be developed for Bilaspur, Karsog, Sunni Arki. Continuous interaction between State Administration, NTPC and Oustees is being done through Village Developm Advisory Committees (VDACS). Public Information Centre (PIC) has been opened at Harnora in Bilaspur, Kyan in Mandi Sunni.

1.4 Location and Site Map

The Koldam Hydroelectric Power Project is located at Satluj River, 4.5 km upstream of Dehar Power Station of Satluj Link Project in Bilaspur District of Himachal Pradesh. The project features will inter alia include a 163 metre high Fill Dam, Spillway, Diversion Structures, Desilting Arrangement, Surface Power House with planned capacity of 800 MW (4x200 MW). The project will utilize a surface drop of 140 metres. Koldam Hydroelectric Power Project has been basica designed as a run-of-the-river scheme.

The project site is located 4.5 km from the National Highway-21(NH-21), upstream of the existing Dehar Power of BBMB in Himachal Pradesh. It is located at latitude 30? 23N and longitude 76? 52E and lies within an active Himala

Mountain range. The dam is proposed to be located in the narrow gorge of the valley downstream of Kyan village. The nearest railhead is at Kiratpur, approximately 90 km from the project site and nearest airport is Bhunter (Kullu). Anoth airport is in Chandigarh a Union Territory.
