Mukerian Hyde Project is one of the main Hydro Electric Projects in the Northern ` Region situated in the Hoshiarpur District of Punjab. The Mukerian Hydel Project is run of the river project, constructed at Mukerian Hydel Channel emanating from Shah-Nehar Barrage.  The Shah-Nehar-Barrage is constructed at the down stream of Pong Dam situated at the River Beas .  The Barrage has 52 gates and thus a small artificial lake of holding capacity of 3404 acres feet has been created which feeds the Mukerian Hydel Channel.  Mukerian Hydel Channel is 37 Km.long and lined by Cement Concrete and having maximum water carrying capacity of 11500 cusecs. The Mukerian Hydeel Project comprises of 4 No. Power Houses.  Power House No. 1 & 2 have 6 Nos (3 at each Power Houses). Machines of 15 MW capacity each whereas Power House No.III & IV have     6 No. (3 at each Power Houses) machines of 19.5 MW capacity each.  The total maximum generating capacity is 207 MW of all the 12 No. Machines. 

The Power Houses are situated at different reduced distances (RD’s) of the channel and located as mentioned below:-

Salient features of the Mukerian Hydel Project are given as under:-

The dates of commissioning Unit wise are as under: -

 The generating Units at each Power Houses can be put in service/running with minimum flow of 1600 cusec.  The Mukerian Hydel Project generates electrical energy at 11 KV and after stepping up to 132 KV, the same is transmitted to Grid system at 132 KV.  Power House No. I is connected with Power House No.II and Power House No.II with PH No.III and PH No.III with PH-IV through 132 KV double circuits carried on towers.  There are four 132 KV circuits for evacuation of electric energy generated, two numbers at PH-II to Jallandhar (through 132 KV Bhogpur and 132 KV Tanda circuits) and other two at PH-IV through 132 KV Sri-Hargobindpur Circuit I&II.

GENERATION ACHEIVEMENTS (In MUs):

This Mukerian Hydel Project has achieved the record generation of 1546.82 MU’s in the year 1999- 2000 since its commissioning, which was the milestone in the history of Mukerian Hydel Project.
