With the Electricity Act (2003), Electricity Policy (2005) in possession, the country has created a conducive atmosphere for investments in the power sector. It has been realized that there is a need to tap all possible sources of energy to meet this challenge and SHP (small hydro power) is considered as a reliable option for grid interactive as well as decentralized power generation. Apart from capacity addition, the challenge is to provide desired quality power in a sustainable manner and at reasonable cost.

Detailed project report is prepared based on geographical, geological, topographical and hydrological surveys and investigations carried out at proposed site of the project. There should be sincerity and a fair degree of accuracy in carrying out the field investigations. The thrust should be to ensure the project execution free from runs. There is also a need for procurement of the most modern equipment and up-gradation of technologies, which would enable undertaking of survey and investigation in more scientific and speedy manner.
