Hydel generation taken up at Jurala with flood from Karnataka
Hydel power generation has commenced at the Jurala and Lower Jurala projects following a delayed arrival of monsoon floodwaters. Current water levels remain significantly lower than the previous year, impacting overall storage capacity.
Why it matters
Hydropower is a vital energy source, and fluctuations in water levels directly impact regional energy security and agricultural irrigation.
Hydel generation at Jurala Hydro-Electric Station and at Lower Jurala Hydro-Electric Project has commenced on Monday night, almost two months late compared to last year, as the Jurala reservoir started getting some notable flood from the upstream only from the early hours of Sunday.
The two hydel stations of TG-Genco have generated 70 million units of energy together on Monday and continued operation or generation on Tuesday too, as a sustained flood in the measure of about 20,000 cusecs continued to the project from the upstream.
