Project Detail:
The proposed 2,100 MW (6*300 MW + 2*150 MW) Patgaon Pumped Storage Hydroelectric Project (the Project) with a storage capacity of 12.6 GWh is constructed across Vedganga River in Bhudargad Taluka of Kolhapur District (upper Reservoir) and Power House and Lower Reservoir near village Anjiwade of Kudal Tehsil, Sindhudurga District in Maharashtra State. The existing Patgaon Reservoir constructed in 1998 for irrigation purposes provides an opportunity for constructing a pumped storage scheme between this reservoir as upper reservoir and a new reservoir to be constructed as lower reservoir on a seasonal stream in the valley located about 400 m below near village Anjiwade of Sindhudurga District.
The construction period is estimated to be 42 months following a period of 18 months for all pre-construction activities including full feasibility study, design, procurement, financing, licensing and arrangements for utilization of the existing reservoir. About 140.25 ha land is required for the Project. Total cost at present cost level is estimated at Rs. 8374 crores including grid connection, all charges and interest during construction which is equivalent to Rs. 3.98 crores/MW. Annual consumption and injection of energy is estimated to be 5,707 GWh and 4,372 GWh, respectively. Assuming cost of energy for pumping at 3.00 Rs./kWh, the levelised tariff according ro CERC guidelines becomes 7.53 Rs./kWh.
