The ADHPL Project is located at a distance of 60 kms from Bhuntar airport. It
is 500 km away from Delhi by road. The project utilises water from the
Hamtal and Pataori Himalayan streams, which form the Allain river, and from the
the Chandar Tal glacier-fed Duhangan river. Water will be
transferred from separate intakes and underground headrace tunnels into a
common intermediate reservoir before being discharged through a steel/concrete
lined pressure shaft into the underground powerhouse at Prini village which is
located near Manali town. Power will be transmitted to the national grid
connection point located at Nalagarh via a high voltage line to be built by the
company.
The ADHPL will help meet the shortage of power in the Northern region of
India, presently estimated at some 1500 MW. The plant will be operated as a
peaking plant from November to May and as a base load plant during the summer
and rainy season from June to October. During the peaking season, the plant is
expected to operate about 4 hours per day.
