69MW Marsyangdi Hydropower Project runs in full capacity

DAMAULI: The 69-megawatt Marsyangdi Hydropower Project in Aanbookhaireni Rural Municipality of Tanahun district has been running at full capacity lately. The hydropower project that was producing less electricity than its capacity has come to its full capacity owing to the rainfall and rise in the water level in the rivers, informed Chief of Marsyangdi Hydropower Project, Badri Phuyal. The energy production is being conducted from three units totalling 69-megawatt, he added. The origin of the Marsyangdi River is in a mountain. In winter, the hydropower project generates 40-megawatt electricity due to decline in water flow in the river. The electricity produced from the hydropower project is connected to the national transmission line through Bharatpur-Kathmandu stations. READ ALSO:
