The government of Arunachal Pradesh on Wednesday signed a memorandum of agreement (MoA) with Greenko Demwe Power Limited for the implementation of the 1750 MW Demwe Lower Hydroelectric Project in Lohit district. Deputy Chief Minister Chowna Mein described it as a landmark moment for Arunachal Pradesh’s hydropower journey. “Today, the GoAP signed the MoA with Greenko Demwe Power Limited for the implementation of the 1750 MW Demwe Lower Hydroelectric Project in Lohit district,” he said. This is among the largest hydropower projects being developed in partnership with a private developer in the state and marks a major step towards harnessing Arunachal Pradesh’s immense hydro potential for sustainable growth and clean energy generation.
The project, proposed on the Lohit River near Parasuram Kund, is expected to generate about 7326 million units of clean energy annually and will bring significant socio-economic benefits through infrastructure development, employment generation, improved connectivity, and investment opportunities. With an installed capacity of 1750 MW, the project will further strengthen Arunachal Pradesh’s role in the renewable energy sector and accelerate the pace of development in the region. “Our government remains committed to responsible and sustainable hydropower development that balances progress, environmental responsibility, and the welfare of local communities. A new chapter of growth, opportunity, and transformative development begins for Arunachal Pradesh,” Mein opined.
