INTRODUCTION 1. The hydro power potential of Himachal Pradesh is about 24,736 MW, which is about one-fourth of the total hydropower potential of India. The Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP) in its Hydropower Policy (2007), has fixed its targets to harness the hydro power with the goal to become the "hydropower state" of the country. The state's hydropower policy includes development of infrastructure such as road access and transmission interconnections to facilitate hydropower generation and its further evacuation so as to encourage investment from the state, central government and private sectors. Majority of the hydropower generation projects are run-off- the river type. Implementation of the hydro policy will improve state financial health by earning revenue from supplying surplus power to the National Grid. In addition to developing its hydropower resources, HP has to build out its electric transmission infrastructure so that the additional power can be efficiently transmitted within the state and exported to the national grid. 2. For improvement/ strengthening of existing infrastructures and addition of new infrastructure for effective power evacuation, the Government of Himachal Pradesh (GoHP) through the Government of India (GoI), has requested the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for a Multi-Tranche Financing Facility (MFF) to provide financial assistance to the power sector investment program in the state. The investment program covers investments for transmission of clean energy to National Grid of India by construction of pooling substations and EHV transmission lines. To implement this activity, Himachal Pradesh Government has established HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) vide HP Government Notification No.: MPP-A (1)-4/2006-Loose dated 11th September, 2008 as the State Transmission Utility (STU). 3. The $350 million investments in the MFF to be supported by Asian Development Bank (ADB), will contribute to support the economic development in Himachal Pradesh through expanded power supplies from clean energy sources, and support a sustainable state electricity sector in the state. The Himachal Pradesh Clean Energy Transmission Investment Program (HPCETIP) will produce the following outcomes: (i) increase in availability of clean energy downstream at pooling stations for effective power evacuation in a financially sustainable manner, (ii) improvement of state finances and power sector financial viability from sales revenue earned from power exports, (iii) improve sector governance, (iv) improve capacity in HP Power Transmission Corporation Limited (HPPTCL) for better planning, implementation and management of power evacuation infrastructure, and energy efficiency through a better power management program, and (v) Improvement in standards of environmental and social safeguards in the sector. With ADB support, the proposed program will sustain the energy sector reform agenda, and is expected to help attract other long-term financiers to the state. 4. The proposed Tranche 1 Project, located in Kinnaur, Mandi, Kangra and Shimla districts of Himachal Pradesh, consists of the following components: Table 1 gives the sub- HPPTCL Page 4 of 55 Environmental Monitoring Report (EMR) project details covered under Tranche 1.
