Explanation:

The state government of Himachal Pradesh is undertaking formal efforts in order to get the ownership of Shanan hydroelectric project.

In this regard, the state government has sought the intervention of the Union Power Ministry to get the ownership of the 110 MW Shanan hydroelectric project from Punjab on the completion of its lease period in March 2024.

Currently Punjab’s PSPCL controls the management of the project.

The Shanan power project is situated at Jogindernagar in Mandi district but its control and management is with Punjab State Power Corporation Ltd (PSPCL).

The agreement for 48-MW Shanan project was signed on March 3, 1925.

The project started power generation in 1932 on a 99-year lease.

Over the course of time, Project capacity was raised to 110 MW in 1982.

The Union Ministry of Irrigation and Power, in an order dated May 1-2, 1967, allocated the Shanan powerhouse at Jogindernagar in Mandi to Punjab.
