Himachal Pradesh Power Corporation Limited

Integrated Kashang HEP (IKHEP) envisages development of Kashang and Kerang Streams, tributaries of the river Sutlej comprising four distinct stages as under:

Stage-I (65 MW):

Comprising diversion of the Kashang stream, at El.2829 m, to an underground powerhouse located on the right bank of Satluj near Powari Village, developing a head of approximately 830 m. On 01.09.2016, IKHEP’s one unit of 65 MW has been successfully commissioned.

Stage-II & III (130 MW):

Comprising diversion of the Kerang stream, at El. 2872 m, into an underground water conductor system leading to upstream end of Stage-I water conductor system, augmenting the generating capacity of Stage-I powerhouse, using Kerang waters over the 820 m head available in Kashang Stage-I powerhouse.

Stage-IV (48 MW):

This stage is more or less independent scheme harnessing the power potential of Kerang stream upstream of the diversion site of Stage-II. In this scheme, a head of approximately 300 m could be utilized to develop power in an underground powerhouse located on the right bank of Kerang stream.
