State-run NHPC today said that its completely shutdown 520-MW Parbati-III power station in Himachal Pradesh has started generating power.
“Parbati-III power station (4X130 MW) in Himachal Pradesh, which was under complete shutdown from December 15, 2015 to carry out repair of pressure shaft, sealing of surge shaft gate and MIV seals and annual maintenance of units, has started generation with effect from February 20, 2016 after completion of the repair/maintenance works,” NHPC Ltd said in a BSE filing today.

It is a run-of-the-river scheme whose design discharge includes the diversion of tail race releases of Parbati Stage-II power house as well as inflows from river Sainj and Jiwa nallah.
The power station is designed to generate 1,963 million units in a 90 per cent dependable year. The plant was fully commissioned in 2014.
