Ghosla and Kamod pumped-storage projects, India
Name of the Project
Ghosla and Kamod pumped-storage projects.
Location
Ghosla is located in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar district, and Kamod in Nandurbar, in Maharashtra, India.
Project Owner/s
Maharashtra government.
Project Description
The project entails the development of two pumped-storage projects with a total capacity of 4 GW.
The projects are off-stream and are planned to provide a minimum of six hours of energy storage daily. They will have newly constructed upper and lower reservoirs in a closed-loop
system.
A powerhouse equipped with reversible pump turbines, generators and other ancillary systems will be installed between the two reservoirs, interconnected through a water conductor system.
The reversible turbines will pump water during nonpeak hours and generate power during peak demand.
Water for the projects will be drawn from existing reservoirs or dams for initial filling and replenished yearly to compensate for losses, owing to evaporation and seepage.
Potential Job Creation
The projects are expected to create employment for about 2 500 people.
Capital Expenditure
These two projects will involve an estimated investment of $211-million.
Planned Start/End Date
Ghosla is scheduled to be completed within three-and-a-half years, while Kamod is expected to be completed in five years.
