Landmarks and attractions

NTPC

One of the most prominent landmarks near Hotgi is the "National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC)", situated approximately 3 kilometers away from the village. This power plant plays a crucial role in the region's energy generation and infrastructure development.

The estimated project cost of NTPC's Solapur thermal power plant, initially set at ₹12,000 crore, is now facing the possibility of a ₹500 crore increase due to the additional compensation being sought by project-affected families. This development has raised concerns about the potential impact on power tariffs for consumers in the five States with which the company has entered into long-term power purchase agreements. These agreements encompass electricity distribution companies in Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, and Goa. Among these States, Maharashtra stands to receive the lion's share, with 55 percent of the total available power. As a result, preliminary estimations indicate that consumers in these regions might experience a tariff hike ranging between 5 and 10 paise, a move necessitated by the increased project costs and compensation demands. This situation highlights the delicate balance between the needs of project-affected families and the economic implications for consumers in the quest for sustainable energy infrastructure development.
