en.Wedoany.com Reported - Bhutan's state-owned power generation company, Druk Green Power Corporation, has signed contracts for the design and pre-construction works of the Wangchhu Hydropower Project. This 570 MW hydropower project in Bhutan is located downstream of the Tala Hydropower Station in the Chhukha District and is the first project to be advanced under the cooperation framework between Druk Green and India's Adani Power.

The project company, Wangchhu Hydroelectric Power Limited, has awarded a design consultancy contract worth BTN 298.7 million to Germany's Lahmeyer International, covering services such as engineering design, technical review, construction support, and project implementation consulting. The project company has also awarded a contract worth BTN 1.27 billion to India's Hindustan Construction Company for pre-construction works including diversion tunnels, hydraulic metal structure gates, and upstream and downstream cofferdams.

Previously, the project awarded the access road construction contract to a local Bhutanese contractor, with the roads expected to be completed by November to facilitate the subsequent mobilization of the main civil works contractor. With key contracts signed for the 570 MW Wangchhu Hydropower Project, Bhutan's hydropower development will continue to advance in areas such as design, tunneling, cofferdams, electromechanical equipment, and main civil works.
