Nagaland gets run-of-the-river power project
Dimapur: Nagaland power and parliamentary affairs minister KG Kenye on Thursday virtually inaugurated the 1MW Ponglefo Small Hydro Electric Project (SHP), a run-of-the-river power project, at Salomi village under Kiphire district. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now It is designed to generate approximately 3.9 million units (MU) of electricity annually. This project, developed by the Nagaland power department, aims to enhance the state's power generation capacity using clean and renewable energy. It utilises the natural flow of the Likimo river, a tributary of the Tizu river, which is a perennial river in the eastern region of Nagaland. The project was funded jointly by the Union ministry of new and renewable energy, the North Eastern Council (NEC) and the state government. It consists of two generating units of 500 KW each, using horizontal Francis turbines. The power plant is supported by well-designed civil structures and an advanced electro-mechanical system, all tailored to the region's challenging terrain. Connected to the state grid, the Ponglefo SHP will play an important role in improving the power supply in the region and promoting economic development. In his inaugural speech, Kenye highlighted the abundance of natural resources in the state. He stressed that it was time to focus and concentrate on exploring and tapping the potential of the state's natural resources. Kenye said all small and mini hydro projects, including solar, bio or any kind of clean energy producing avenues, will be explored for production and generation of energy in the state. He further said doors are open for the international community to invest in the power sector, especially focusing on the sector of production and energy generation.

12 firms file applications for small hydel projects, five under evaluation: TNGECL
CHENNAI: A couple of months after the Tamil Nadu Green Energy Corporation Limited (TNGECL) invited applications to develop Small Hydel Projects (SHPs) in the state, the agency has so far received 12 proposals from private developers, officials said. The capacities of each of these SHPs, which can be set up across canal systems, rivers and streams without having to build any structures for storing the water, can range from 100 kilowatts (KW) to 10 megawatts (MW), with each unit in an SHP not exceeding 5 MW. TNGECL managing director Dr Aneesh Sekhar told TNIE that the government is encouraging private participation in SHPs to boost renewable energy production. 'Of the 12 proposals, five are currently under evaluation. However, no project has been finalised yet. Approvals will be granted after detailed evaluation and site inspections,' he said. While TNGECL has not completed any SHPs so far, a 20 MW project is nearing completion in Namakkal district. 'Most of the work is over and the plant will begin power generation soon,' Sekhar added. Tamil Nadu had released a policy for SHP late last year. 'Based on the policy, we are now processing applications. Private firms with access to water sources can apply to set up these plants,' another senior official said. He said the firms can generate power for their own use (captive use), sell it to third parties within the state, or supply to distribution companies to help meet the Renewable Purchase Obligation (RPO) targets set by the Tamil Nadu Electricity Regulatory Commission (TNERC). While the RPO set for 2024-25 was 29%, Tamil Nadu managed only around 26 %. The state has an installed hydropower capacity of 2,321.90 MW, but SHPs have so far received limited focus. In contrast, neighbouring Karnataka is actively promoting such projects, the official added.

Hickory firefighters help with evacuations during 2-alarm apartment fire
HICKORY, N.C. (QUEEN CITY NEWS) – A 2-alarm fire broke out at a Hickory apartment complex Wednesday morning. According to Hickory city officials, firefighters responded at 9:22 a.m. to the 200 block of Ninth Avenue NW. On arrival, firefighters reported smoke and fire coming from the multi-story apartment building. 70-year-old Newton man dies following NC 127 crash: SHP Crews used ladders to help residents evacuate, but one occupant was reportedly trapped on the second floor. At 9:35 am, the resident was reported safely out of the burning apartment and was transported to a local hospital for minor abrasions and smoke inhalation. The Hickory Fire Department responded with three engines, two ladders, a rescue truck, two command units, and additional units to assist including Catawba County EMS. Fire damage was contained to one apartment. The once-trapped occupant told fire investigators that the smoke alarm alerted him to the fire. Hickory Fire investigators determined the fire was electrical and was caused by a faulty extension cord. 'This fire is a good example of how a working smoke alarm can alert occupants; so, take a few minutes to test your alarms to ensure they are working properly,' city officials said. 'If you need assistance or don't have alarms, contact your local fire department to see if they have a free alarm program.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
