The Uttarakhand government on Thursday decided to invite fresh bids for small hydel projects with total capacity to generate 1,000-1,500 Mw of power in its attempt to bridge the widening demand-supply gap in the hill state.
The government has also asked the IIT Roorke to make an environmental-impact assessment report on all such small hydel projects, Chief Minister Vijay Bahuguna said.
