Baggi Power Plant comprising two units of 20 MW each conceived three decades ago is yet to be executed as the partner states of BBMB are fighting over the sharing of benefits from the project.

Baggi Power Plant was to be constructed at the exit point of Pandoh Baggi tunnel to utilize the optimal natural fall at Baggi. The Baggi control works have been provided at the exit point of the Pandoh Baggi Tunnel for regulation of out flows from Pandoh Reservoir to meet the fluctuating demands of Dehar Power Plant.
Baggi Power Plant
During the construction of Beas Satluj Link Project, it was observed that a power plant could be constructed at the exit of Pandoh - Baggi Tunnel (PBT) as sufficient head was available between Pandoh Reservoir and at the start of Sunder Nagar Hydel Channel (SNHC). Consequently, a by-pass tunnel upstream of Baggi Control Works (BCW) was constructed to divert the water for the prospective power plant.
A 6.1 diameter by pass tunnel is taken off from PBT at 170.3 m upstream of BCW at Baggi providing a Discharge of 170 cumecs for the proposed 2 x 20 MW Baggi Power House.
BBMB has revived the Baggi Power project.
