Mission of SSP

Harnessing the untapped waters of the Narmada for

survival of millions of people and

environmentally sound sustainable development of the western India by

providing the essence of life-Water and

Energy.

Contribution of Sardar Sarovar Project

RBPH will not be redundant even during the final stage when Madhya Pradesh would be utilising its entire 18.25 MAF of water.

250 MW available from CHPH as peaking power when the 9.5 MAF water will be passed through the CHPH

• Benefits from the project• 1.6 million units of

power to be generated annually

• 9 million liters Water to be conserved

• Less Algae Growth in the canal water

6 acres lAND

• Innovative Idea: Cover the canal with Solar Panels to• Minimize evaporation from

canal• Produce power using solar

panels as the cover• Produce eco-friendly power• Save Land

Pilot Project of Solar PV (1 MW) on Canal Top

Saving of about 60 to 90 million cubic meter per annum due to reduced evaporation loss.

Equivalent to 96 to 144 Million Units of electricity to fetch this much groundwater

• Top width of these canals range from 110 m to 10 m, can facilitate installation of Solar PV Panels with an installed capacity of 2,000 MW.

• Such installation on canal top can thus cover a water surface area of about 50 to 60 million square meter.

For different types of canals, the potential can be assessed as under :
