“…The flexibility and storage capacity of hydropower not only makes it possible to improve grid stability but also support the deployment of other intermittent renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power. Among all renewable energy sources, plant life of hydro power is the highest, about 35 years and generation tariff is the lowest, between 63.33-87.50 USD/MWh (Mishra et al, 2015). These advantages make it one of the best options as a renewable and sustainable energy source.…”

“…In Uttarakhand, private sector participation in the hydro power sector is noticeably absent [54] Longer gestation period and allocation of funds:-Hydro Power projects entails long gestation period, due to unavailability of geological, seismological and hydrological records, delays in land acquisitions, resettlement and rehabilitation issues, law and order problems and poor connectivity [62][63]. Whereas Thermal projects have short gestation period and get priority in fund allotments with a view to get early benefits [11][64] [61].…”

“…Due to several concerns on deforestation, submergence, monuments, seismicity, ecology, flora, fauna , wildlife protection and catchment area treatment getting Environmental and Forest clearances became a major issue in the development of Hydro power projects [1], [31], [49], [62], [67], [70], [71], [78], [79]. Tehri is the best example of this issue as it took more than 36 years to start after conceptualization of the Project, this has delayed the Project and in turn realization of energy [42].…”

“…Among all renewable energy sources, the small hydro is the cleanest source of energy and it is the most promising source to produce electricity [3][4][5][6]. Hydro power is to direct renewable origin for electricity generation universally, supplying 71 % of all renewable electricity.…”
