India's Transmission Master Plan for Hydro and Pumped Storage
The Central Electricity Authority (CEA) in India has finalized a detailed Master Plan for Evacuation of Power from Hydroelectric Plants in the Brahmaputra Basin.
This plan outlines the framework for transmitting up to 76GW of hydroelectric and pumped storage capacity from India's most resource-rich river system.
- 64.9GW of conventional hydro potential (projects above 25MW)
- 11.1GW from proposed pumped storage plants (PSPs)
The projects span 12 sub-basins, including the Siang, Subansiri, Dibang, Lohit, and Barak systems across Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Sikkim, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Manipur, Nagaland, and West Bengal.
