Government of India and Government of Myanmar signed
an Agreement in 2008 for development of Chindwin River Valley. Based on
this Agreement, NHPC was asked to undertake additional investigations
and prepare the Detailed Project Report (DPR) on the Thamanti
Hydro-Electric Power Project (HEP). NHPC has completed the DPR on
Thamanti in October, 2011.
Thamanti HEP is estimated to generate a total of 1200
Megawatts (MW) of electricity. As per DPR, approximately 41092 persons
of 7411 households would be affected due to the construction of proposed
Thamanti Project. Total area under submergence is estimated to be
about 1374 sq.km. Reservoir area would cover from Tazon village to
Hkanti. Most of the areas under submergence is forest land. The Social
and Environmental Impact Assessment studies are included in the DPR of
Thamanti Hydro-Electric Power Project.
