The new power generation projects like Ratle, Pakal Dul, Kiru etc will bridge a major gap in the UTs electricity requirements, Sinha said.Noting that the 850 MW Ratle power project will provide massive direct and indirect employment opportunities to the local population, the Lt Governor directed the concerned agencies to lay down a comprehensive mechanism for the skilling of the local people which will enable them to avail job opportunities in the execution of the project.Despite having the capacity to generate 20,000 MW hydropower, only 3,500 MW of electricity was harnessed in 70 years.
