Hydropower

1. Power Plant Design
Hydroelectric Project Development

2. Identification, Screening, Feasibility
Desk study
Field Visit
Preliminary Discharge measurement
Preliminary Feasible projects -selection
-Road access
-Power Evacuation
-Environmental issues
-Local community/habitation to be affected
Selection of candidate projects –Not Licensed Yet !
DOED-Area licensed for study –Vacant or not?
Application with desk study report, finance,
License to study or License to study, construct and
generate

3. Feasibility study
Detail hydrology , geology
EIA/IEE/SIA/Information ->5, <5 but >1, Parks
and large resettlement, <1 MW
Power Evacuation study, Grid Connection, Load flow
Feasibility design-Location of Weir,
Canal/pipe/tunnel, Power House
Economic, reliable designs of civil and EM/HM works
Quantity Estimate and Cost analysis
Financial Analysis –Tariff estimate for >5MW
Rs. 3.95 wet season, Rs.5.52 dry season for <5MW
Rate of Return (IRR,ROE), Net Present Value,
Benefit-to-Cost Ratio, Debt Service Coverage Ratio
Feasible or not Feasible –If Feasible –Next Phase

4. Feasible Project
1. Power Purchase Agreement –N.E.A.
2. Connection Agreement –Grid , N.E.A.
3. Financing Closure –Agreement with Bankers
4. GoN,DOED-Construction License
5. Approvals from Forestry (Tree cutting, Forest
area), Local Administration (Land Acquisition and
misc.), Home Ministry (Explosives, security)
6. Contracts to Construction
7. Erection
8. Commissioning
9. Commercial Generation
> Money Spinning from Water
