[[Himachal Pradesh]] is extremely rich in its [[hydroelectricity]] resources. The state has about twenty five percent of the national potential. About 27,436 [[Megawatt|MW]] of hydroelectric power can be generated in the state by the construction of various hydroelectric projects on the five perennial river basins. Out of total hydroelectric potential of the state, 10,519 MW is harnessed so far, out of which only 7.6% is under the control of Himachal Pradesh Government while the rest is exploited by the Central Government. The state government has been giving the highest priority for its development, since hydroelectric generation can meet the growing need of [[Power (physics)|power]] for [[Industrial sector|industry]], [[agriculture]] and [[rural electrification]]. It is also the biggest source of income to the state as it provides electricity to other states.

Himachal has enough resources to generate surplus power but in winter less flow of water in rivers and increases in lighting and heating load can result in power shortages that overshoot ten [[lakh]] units per day. Due to increased industrialization and rural electrification this figure is expected to rise even further.

== Completed projects ==

=== Girinagar Hydel Project ===
Situated on the river Giri of the [[Sirmaur district|Sirmour District]], Girinagar Hydel project has an installed capacity of 60 MW, with 2 units of 30 MW each. This project, which is [[Run-of-the-river hydroelectricity|run-off-the-river]] scheme comes under HPSEB<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hpseb.com/|title=HPSEBL|work=hpseb.com|access-date=13 December 2014}}</ref> and is operational for 29 years.

This project completed in 1966 by state government.

=== Binwa Hydel Project ===
The project has an installed capacity of 6 MW comprising 2 units of 3 MW each., located near [[Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh|Baijnath]] in District Kangra. The project is situated 25 km from [[Palampur]] and 14 km from [[Baijnath, Himachal Pradesh|Baijnath]] is constructed at an elevation of 1515 meters above sea level. This project constitutes a 62-meter-long tunnel that connects trench weirs in Banu Khad and Prahal Khud.

=== Sanjay Vidyut Pariyojna ===
Located in the [[Kinnaur district]], on the river Bhaba is a completely underground project with an installed capacity of 120 MW, comprising 3 units each of 40 MW. The uniqueness of this project lies in its underground [[Electrical substation|switchyard]], a feature that no other hydel project in Asia can brag about. Completed in 1989-90, the estimated cost was about 167 crore rupees. The total length of tunnels including those secured in after completing the project is 12 km.

=== Bassi Hydroelectric Project ===
Bassi project (66 MW) is an extension of Beas Power House ([[Mandi, Himachal Pradesh|Mandi District]]) constituting 4 units of 16.5 MW each. It utilizes the tail water of Shannon Power House of [[Jogindernagar|Joginder Nagar]] project.

=== Larji Hydroelectric Project ===
Larji hydroelectric project is on river Beas in Kullu district with an installed capacity of 126 MW.In 2014 14 Engineers died due to releasing its waters. <ref>{{Cite web|title = Largi Hydroelectric Project JH00501 -|url = http://india-wris.nrsc.gov.in/wrpinfo/index.php?title=Largi_Hydroelectric_Project_JH00501|website = india-wris.nrsc.gov.in|access-date = 2016-01-09}}</ref> The project was completed in September 2007.<ref>{{Cite news|title = Larji Hydro Electric Project inaugurated|url = http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-national/tp-otherstates/larji-hydro-electric-project-inaugurated/article1916830.ece|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 2007-09-24|access-date = 2016-01-09|issn = 0971-751X|language = en-IN}}</ref>

=== Andhra Hydel Project ===
Commissioned during the year 1987-88, the project has 3 units of 5.5 MW which makes it 16.5 MW of installed capacity. It is located in Rohru tehsil of [[Shimla district]]. The cost of the project was estimated to be around 9.74 crores, transmitting to the state grid via the Nogli power house near Rampur.

=== Rongtong Hydel Project. ===
Rongtong is a 2 MW project that is located in the ''Lahaul-Spiti district'' on Rongtong Nullaha, a tributary of ''Spiti'' river. Located at an elevation of 3,600 metres in a snow adhered region, this was the first hydel project executed for the socio-economic upliftment of the tribals of this area. It is one of the highest in the world. The snow fed water runnel tapped at an elevation of 3,788 m is diverted through 2,825 m long channel and 259 m long tunnel into an open reservoir with a capacity of 14,000 cubic m. Renovated by APE Power Pvt. Ltd., APE Power also renovate RUKTI (4 × 375 KW) Hydro Electric project.

=== Baner and Neugal Project ===
With the combined installed capacity of 12 MW the projects are situated on Baner and Neugal streams respectively in [[Kangra district|Kangra District]]. Both of the streams emerge from [[Dhauladhar]] and join [[Beas River|Beas]] in the form of tributaries in south.
Is is in 2 districts the power house is in shimla and the dam is in nathpa which is in Kinnaur district.

===Nathpa Jhakri Project===
One of the major project on the [[Sutlej]] river is the ''[[Nathpa Jhakri Dam]]'' which generates nearly 1500 MW of electricity. The project is funded by [[World Bank]].<ref>[http://www.webindia123.com/himachal/economy/power.htm Power resources of Himachal]</ref>
its construction cost is around 8000 crores.

===Sainj Hydroelectric Project===
Installed Capacity 100 MW. [2×50 MW]. It is situated in Kullu district.

===Bhakra Dam===
The [[Bhakra Dam]] has the first Dam to have come up on the Satluj river, it is one of the highest gravity dams in the world and has an Installed capacity of 1325 MW.
The dam holds excess waters during the monsoon and provides a regulated release during the year . It also prevents damage due to monsoon floods. The dam provides irrigation to 10 million acres (40,000 km²) of fields in Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan. Bhakra Dam is established on 1954.
