The Uttar Pradesh government has granted in-principal approval for THDC India’s 1,200 MW pumped storage project (PSP) in the Robertsganj tehsil of Sonbhadra district.
The project, with an estimated cost of Rs 66 billion, will generate electricity for six hours and 36 minutes daily. The project covers 300.55 hectares of land and will require an initial annual filling of 15.031 million cubic meters (mcm) of water from the Son River, with an additional 1.7112 mcm needed to compensate for evaporation losses.
