After two decades, Uttaranchal  government has allotted the 120 MW Vyassi dam project to its state run enterprise UJVNL (Uttaranchal  Jal Vidyut Nigam Ltd). The hydel project will be set up at a cost of Rs.7580 million. It will produce 438.38 million units of power during peak periods. It may be noted that Vysasi project was earlier a part of Lakhwar-Vysassi project and was awarded to NHPC which has prepared DPR for the project. However, as a surprise move the govt. has awarded the project to UJVNL.
