Meghalaya Energy Corporation is planning to set up Umngot H.E. Project on the river Umngot, a south flowing river which flows into Bangladesh. The project consists of a 111 metres high concrete dam with a length of 362 metres across river Umngot to impound 71.31 MCum. of water. An Intake will lead the water from the reservoir to a 3.40m diameter head race tunnel of length 5.646 Km and a 2.5m diameter steel lined pressure shaft of length 2.119 Km will then carry the water to three Pelton turbines of 70 MW capacity each in a surface Power House of length 107.5m and width 22m for generation of 210 MW of peak power. As of January 2016, environment clearance for the project is underway.
