The Heavy Civil Infrastructure Business of Larsen amp; Toubro has secured an order from the prestigious Greenko group one of the worlds leading renewable energy companies for development of an off stream pumped storage project in Madhya Pradesh

The Civil and Hydromechanical works of the project will be executed through a Consortium led by Larsen amp; Toubro under a stringent timeline of 30 months Upon completion the project will be one of the largest clean energy projects of its kind in India

The Gandhisagar Pumped Storage Project PSP designed to meet a pumped storage capacity of 10080 MWHr envisages creation of an upper reservoir near Khemla block village about 75 Kms from Neemuch Madhya Pradesh while the existing Gandhisagar reservoir will be the lower reservoir The project involves constructing an Upper Dam to form the upper reservoir Intake Structure with Approach Channel Steel Lined Buried PenstockPressure Shaft Vertical amp; Horizontal Surface Powerhouse Draft tube tunnel Tailrace Outlet Structure Tailrace channel etc

Pumped hydro storage plants that store energy using a system of two interconnected reservoirs have assumed immense significance today given the increased adoption of inherent variability Water is pumped to the upper reservoir in times of surplus energy and in times of excess demand water from the upper reservoir is released generating power with an overall cycle efficiency of 80Percentage or more
