Arunachal Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister on Wednesday inaugurated the renovation and modernisation of Sessa Mini Hydel Station (3×500 kW) at Sessa in West Kameng district in the presence of MLA Thrizino-Buragaon, Tenzing Nyima Glow. Originally commissioned in 1992 and non-operational for several years due to ageing infrastructure, the project has now been successfully revived with modern electromechanical systems and upgraded civil works. With an installed capacity of 3×500 kW and upgraded 33 kV grid connectivity, the plant will now deliver reliable and efficient power supply to over 1,500 households across Sessa, Tippi, Bhalukpong and nearby villages. The modernization includes improved transmission systems, enhanced voltage stability, and reduced transmission losses, ensuring better quality power and ease of operation and maintenance. The project is expected to generate around 6.1 million units of energy annually, contributing significantly to the region’s energy security and sustainable development. “This initiative reflects our continued commitment to strengthening hydro power infrastructure and improving the lives of people in remote and border areas of Arunachal Pradesh,” the deputy Chief minister said.
