The State's five major river basins – Kameng, Subansiri, Siang and Dibang and Lohit –holds considerable potential for sustainable energy generation.

Several projects were previously allotted to Public Sector and Private Sector Enterprises basis the State's Hydropower Policy. However, some projects allotted to private sector could not be initiated due to a variety of circumstances. At present, there exist large projects with estimated generation potential of 1,284 MW which were allotted to Private Sector Enterprises and subsequently terminated by the State Government on account of non-initiation of construction, non-achievement of financial closure etc.
