The pump condenser synchronisation took place on April 23, 2025, marking a significant leap in the development of India’s renewable energy infrastructure. “During the synchronisation, unit behaviour was satisfactory and successfully consumed approximately 4 MW, 13.6 Mvar for approximately 10 minutes,” shared the company in statement.
R.K. Vishnoi, Chairman and Managing Director, THDC India remarked, “This is a Novel Benchmark, bringing India’s largest Hydro Power Complex, the Tehri Hydro Power Complex closer to full operationalisation with a total installed capacity of 2,400 MW.”
He further added that this achievement is a testament to its commitment to strengthening India’s renewable energy infrastructure. It positions the Tehri Hydro Power Complex as a key contributor to the nation’s transition towards a sustainable and resilient energy future.
“The Tehri PSP will play a pivotal role in balancing the Northern Grid by converting surplus off-peak energy into peaking power ensuring a steady and reliable electricity supply to millions of consumers. With a total capacity of 1,000 MW, this plant is designed to deliver crucial peaking power support to the grid, particularly during times of high demand,” he said.
