Power generation from Riverbed Powerhouse (RBPH) at the Sardar Sarovar dam on Narmada river has started after a gap of two years, with the release of water from the dam following good rainfall in the catchment areas, an official said on Sunday.
The power plant became functional on Saturday.
Similarly, the hydro power project on Ukai dam, constructed across the Tapi river also became operational on Saturday after a gap of four years, the official said.
Managing Director of the Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam Ltd (SSNL), Rajiv Kumar Gupta, said, "All the six units of the RBPH have started generating power at the installed capacity owing to high flow of water into the river since the last couple days. The total installed capacity of the project is 1,200 MW."
