J-K aims to produce 5,000 MWs of power by 2016
The Jammu and Kashmir government has launched a three-tier power generation plan for producing 5,000 MW with the help of National Hydro Power Corporation (NHPC) and Independent Power Producer (IPP) over the next six years.
A programme to generate about 5,000 MW of power in next five to six years has been launched under a three-tier power generation plan, Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said addressing the 60th meeting of Board of Directors of State Power Development Corporation (SPDC) on Friday.
"We are striving for mobilising power projects as joint ventures in Private Public Partnership (PPP) mode in the state sector indigenously, and with the help of NHPC and IPP," he said.
Omar said power development was an essential ingredient in the growth of economy and industrialisation in the state.
The hydro-energy potential available in the state provides tremendous scope for viable power projects and the government has put in place a proactive strategy in this regard to give new dimensions to the power generation programme, he said.
