Power (energy resources of kashmir).
Important topic for J&K Exams. jkssb , jkpsc
Jammu and Kashmir has abundant water resources and great potential for hydro power, estimated at over 20000MW
Of This only 10% has been exploited and efforts are being made to effectively to tap and harness the untapped hydro power potential of UT.
Despite the significant potential of hydro power and its benefits , it has still not been harnessed in a meaningful way due to long gestation periods for hydro power projects , Unavailability of reliable hydrological data under projects offered , skewed tariff profile , instability in the political environment of jammu and kashmir and remoteness from large consumption centers.
