The commissioning details for the Tehri PSP Unit III are outlined below:

Parameter:	Details
Unit Designation:	Unit III
Capacity:	250 MW
Project Type:	Pumped Storage Project
Status:	Now Operational

Strategic Significance

The Tehri Pumped Storage Project represents a critical component of NTPC's renewable energy strategy. Pumped storage projects serve dual purposes in the power sector - they function as both energy storage systems and grid stabilization mechanisms. These facilities store excess energy during low demand periods and release it during peak consumption hours.

Technology and Infrastructure

Pumped storage projects like Tehri PSP utilize advanced hydroelectric technology to provide flexible power generation solutions. The 250 MW Unit III adds substantial capacity to the existing infrastructure, enhancing the project's overall contribution to grid reliability and energy security.

The successful commissioning of Unit III demonstrates NTPC's continued commitment to expanding its renewable energy footprint and supporting India's clean energy transition goals.
