Lohit, May 27:
In a major boost to Arunachal Pradesh’s hydropower sector, the Government of Arunachal Pradesh (GoAP) on Thursday signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Greenko Demwe Power Limited for the implementation of the 1750 MW Demwe Lower Hydroelectric Project in Lohit district.
The project, proposed on the Lohit River near Parashuram Kund, is among the largest hydropower ventures to be undertaken in partnership with a private developer in the State. The initiative marks a significant step towards harnessing Arunachal Pradesh’s vast hydroelectric potential for sustainable growth and clean energy generation.
According to officials, the project is expected to generate around 7,326 Million Units (MU) of clean energy annually. Besides strengthening renewable energy production, the project is also expected to bring major socio-economic benefits through infrastructure development, employment generation, improved connectivity, and increased investment opportunities in the region.
With an installed capacity of 1750 MW, the Demwe Lower Hydroelectric Project is expected to further reinforce Arunachal Pradesh’s position as a key player in India’s renewable energy sector while accelerating regional development.
The State Government reiterated its commitment to responsible and sustainable hydropower development, balancing economic progress with environmental responsibility and the welfare of local communities.
The signing of the agreement is being seen as the beginning of a new phase of growth, opportunity, and transformative development for Arunachal Pradesh.
