Bhupender Gupta, Chairman and Managing Director, SJVN, highlighted that since its commissioning in May 2004, NJHPS has consistently demonstrated exceptional operational reliability. “It has emerged as a cornerstone of the northern power grid, delivering dependable green energy and ensuring grid stability during peak demand periods,” he stated.
He further apprised that NJHPS achieved its highest-ever annual generation of 7,610.257 million units in FY 2011-12, followed by a record monthly generation of 1,222.170 million units in July 2024. The highest-ever daily generation of 39.572 million units, recorded on August 13, 2024, further reflects its capability to optimally harness favourable hydrological conditions.
The 150 BU milestone carries significant environmental value, representing the displacement of large volumes of fossil-fuel-based generation and the consequent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The station thus remains integral to India's clean energy transition and climate commitments, SJVN stated.
It further added that operated by SJVN, NJHPS continues to benefit from systematic modernisation, digital monitoring, and rigorous maintenance practices.
