Chief Minister Lalduhoma marked a new chapter for Mizoram’s energy sector by inaugurating the 24 MW Tuirini Mini Hydropower Project’s foundation in Aizawl district Monday. This NDB-loan funded initiative, costing 676.98 crore rupees along the Tuirini River, underscores the state’s renewable push.
The CM spotlighted milestones: last month’s 10 MW Thenzawl Solar launch and the 5 MW Sumsuih project’s 20% progress, both government-owned. On hydro fronts, Tuivai’s capacity was trimmed from 210 MW to 132 MW over Manipur submersion risks.
Union approvals cover DPR, private partnerships, bids, and pacts, with 2.3 crore for a top-tier advisor—DPR complete, awaiting funds for build-start. Talawng Hydro’s drilling is underway per 2023 orders, eyeing 2026 DPR.
Solar momentum builds via EOIs for sites including Serchhip, Dawhjalu Jaw, and Lalen. 75 villages offer land for community solar. 2.62 MW from 791 rooftops thrives on subsidies.
These efforts weave a resilient energy tapestry for Mizoram, harnessing rivers and sun for prosperity.
