FLOVEL Energy Private Limited has announced the signing of an electro-mechanical (E&M) contract for the 22 MW Roura II small hydroelectric project in the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh, marking a new project addition to its hydropower portfolio and the start of a new partnership in the region.
Under the contract, FLOVEL will supply and implement key electro-mechanical systems for the project, deploying its engineering expertise and manufacturing infrastructure to meet performance and reliability standards. The company stated that the award reflects continued customer confidence in its capabilities and long-term commitment to delivering robust hydropower solutions for challenging terrains.
The Roura II project is being developed by Roura Non-Conventional Energy Private Limited and is located in the Nichar subdivision of Kinnaur district, a high-altitude Himalayan region with significant small hydropower potential. The site sits at an elevation of approximately 2,200m above mean sea level and has been designed as a high-head installation.
Technically, the scheme will feature a three-jet horizontal Pelton turbine configuration, optimized for the project’s net head of 585.3m. The installed plant capacity is planned at 2 × 10MW, with an additional 10% contingency load, positioning the facility to deliver stable generation under variable operating conditions.
FLOVEL indicated that all major equipment for the project will be manufactured at its state-of-the-art production facilities, with a focus on long-term durability and operational efficiency. The company emphasized that each unit is engineered to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring that the project’s performance is built to last.
Once operational, the Roura II project is expected to contribute clean, renewable power to the regional grid while supporting Himachal Pradesh’s broader renewable energy development strategy. The project also underscores the continued relevance of high-head small hydropower schemes in mountainous regions, where such installations can play a critical role in balancing energy supply, improving grid stability, and advancing decarbonization goals in India and beyond.
