'''Bhira Hydroelectric Project''' is an electricity generating complex in Bhira, [[Maharashtra]] state, India. It generates power using water from the nearby [[Mulshi Dam]]. Bhira lies approximately 150 km from [[Mumbai]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://globalenergyobservatory.org/geoid/2334|title=Bhira Pumped Storage Hydro Power Plant India - GEO|work=globalenergyobservatory.org|accessdate=14 December 2014}}</ref> Its construction was completed in 1927.

==Specifications==
The plant's maximum output capacity is nominally 300 [[Watt#Megawatt|MW]], generated by six 25 MW [[Pelton wheel|Pelton]] turbines and a 150 MW [[Pumped-storage hydroelectricity|pumped storage generator]] added in 1997. In 2014 two 10 kW microturbine units were added to generate further power from the [[tailrace]] after the main turbines.

==Awards==
In 2007 the [[Central Electricity Authority (India)|Central Electricity Authority]] (CEA) awarded a Silver Shield to the Bhira facility's operators, [[Tata Power]], as the second best performing power station in the country.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tata.in/article/inside/CL!$$$!DLi!$$$!G!$$$!Bo=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|archive-url=https://archive.today/20131218053535/http://www.tata.in/article/inside/CL!$$$!DLi!$$$!G!$$$!Bo=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|url-status=dead|archive-date=18 December 2013|title=Tata Power Bhira hydro plant bags Silver Shield Award from the Central Electricity Authority, Mumbai|work=tata.in|publisher=Tata Sons Ltd|accessdate=14 December 2014}}</ref> The plant received a further Silver Shield in the following year.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://tata.in/article/inside/t!$$$!UQdsnd13g=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|title=Tata Power’s Bhira Hydro Plant awarded the ‘Silver Shield’ award by Ministry of Power and Central Electricity Authority|work=tata.in|publisher=Tata Sons Ltd|accessdate=14 December 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304142336/http://tata.in/article/inside/t!$$$!UQdsnd13g=/TLYVr3YPkMU=|archive-date=4 March 2016|url-status=dead}}</ref>
