OHPC Overview

OHPC History

OHCL Objectives

• Acquire, develop, build, and run hydroelectric power plants, thermal and nuclear power plants, and any other electric power plants based on non-conventional energy sources.
• Manufacturing, distribution, and coordination.
• Conduct research and write project reports.
• Own, acquire, operate, and carry on the coal mining business, among other things.

OHCL Mission

• To enhance water resources in the state and throughout the country while increasing hydropower generation capacity through the establishment of new hydropower projects.
• To attain the highest level of efficiency, current hydropower plants will be upgraded using cutting-edge technology.
• Establish and run thermal power facilities through joint ventures, as well as investigate the potential for developing renewable energy resources such as small hydro, wind, and solar.
• To develop and run coal mines allotted jointly to OHPC and other public sector enterprises by the Ministry of Coal, Government of India.
• Improving productivity through excellent ERP system planning and deployment, as well as the establishment of a resilient and concurrent IT infrastructure.
• To professionalise the workforce in accordance with modern management and technical know-how.

OHPC Project Features

• Creating a reservoir with a gross storage capacity of 2300 Mcum at FRL + 642 m (2106.3 ft.) and a live capacity of 1435.5 Mcum above the MDDL of + 625 m (2050.62 ft.).
• Water conductor system consisting of a 165-meter-long head race channel, a 4.32-kilometer-long, 7-meter-diameter head race tunnel with a discharge capacity of 210 cumecs, and a surge shaft.
• 2 pressure shafts of 330 m length and 5.25 m diameter that bifurcate near the valve house;
• 4 surface penstocks of 790 m length and 3.5 m diameter to lead the water to the power house; an overground power house with 4 units of 150 mw each running at an average gross head of 371.00m (1218 ft.)
• 9 km tail race channel to discharge tail racewater into the Hati river
• Aweir, 12.01 m high and 117 m long on the Hati river with a live storage capacity of 603.57 HM between RL 265 m and 260.4m to smooth out diurnal differences in power house discharges.
• Two gravity canals 48.5 km long left bank and 70.4 km long right bank commanding an ayacut of 49085 hectares and 27195 hectares respectively, a lift canal 56.3 km long taking off immediately from the left side of the weir commanding an ayacut of 41400 hectares (the lift involved is 45.7 m).
• The irrigation project is taking on the items of work from point (7) to point (9). The dam and its associated works are considered typical work for irrigation and power generation.
