To discuss the issues regarding transmission system required for evacuation of power from Luhri Stage-I HEP, a meeting was held on 10/01/2017 at CEA among CEA, CTU, SJVNL and HPPTCL/HPSEB. During the meeting, representative from SJVNL informed that Luhri project is on Satluj river and its upstream & downstream projects are Rampur and Koldam, respectively. Initially, Luhri HEP was contemplated as single stage project of 775 MW. Thereafter, project layout was reviewed and it was decided to develop Luhri HEP in three stages with capacity of 210 MW (St-I), 207 MW (St-II) and 363 MW (St-III). All three stages of Luhri HEP are to be implemented by SJVNL only. The application for Luhri Stage-I was discussed in 10 th LTA/Connectivity meeting of NR held on 30/05/2017 wherein it emerged that transmission system for grant of Connectivity for Luhri Stage-I HEP may be taken up under integrated planning with future stages of the project and one Pooling Station may be proposed for the same. The Connectivity to Luhri HEP Stage-I was also discussed in 40 th Standing Committee Meeting of NR held on 22/06/2018 wherein CEA informed that a team of officers from CEA, SJVNL, HPPTCL, HPSEB and CTU visited 3 sites of Luhri-I, II and III on 14/06/2018. The team also saw the tentative locations of the pooling station. Accordingly, the team proposed that power from all the three stages of Luhri HEP would be evacuated at 220 kv level and would be pooled at 400/220 kv proposed ISTS pooling station tentatively identified at a place Nange located near Luhri-II HEP and further evacuated to Koldam through 400 kv D/C line. System beyond Koldam sub-station shall be finalized after system studies based on LTA applications. For taking up the implementation of the associated transmission system, SJVNL was advised to apply for Connectivity/LTA for Luhri Stage-II & III at the earliest. After deliberations in the meeting, following was agreed: i) Establishment of 400/220 kv Pooling Station under ISTS at Nange (tentatively identified near Luhri-II HEP) along with a 400kV D/c line to Koldam. 2
