With electricity consumption projected to go up, the Kerala State Electricity Board (KSEB) is planning to take up work on 14 new hydel projects - most of them on the smaller side - and a handful of solar power initiatives during 2022-2027.
The hydel list includes two storage-based schemes, 11 small run-of-the-river schemes to be operated during monsoons, and one extension scheme, according to the capital investment plan (CIP) for the period from 2022-23 to 2026-27 submitted by the power utility to the Kerala State Electricity Regulatory Commission.
