The 45-megawatt (MW) Bhotekoshi Hydropower Project has finally restarted commercial production from today.
The project – based in Sindhupalchowk – started commercial power generation following the two-week-long test transmission. The project had successfully conducted the latest test transmission on December 7. The power generated from the project has been connected to the national grid through the Lamosanghu-based substation.
Though, it had been previously commissioning energy since January 2001, the project had been closed after the 2015 devastating earthquake and floods and landslides completely damaged the project.
The project – developed and operated by the private sector – is currently in the position of not operating to its full capacity due to low water flow in the river at the time. The current production on average is 22-25 MW each day. After the water level rises we will able to operate in a full-fledged manner.
The powerhouse of the project is based in Jhirpu of Phulpingkatti of Bhotekoshi village municipality. The Chinese Company Sinohydro Bureau 11 had been awarded the project contract in 2074 BS at the cost of Rs 7 billion.
