NEA Executive Director Hitendra Dev Shakya inspected the New Bharatpur 220 kV substation, directing technical teams to resolve issues affecting full operation of the Damauli–Bharatpur 132 kV transmission line.
Hitendra Dev Shakya, Executive Director of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), has conducted an inspection of the New Bharatpur 220 kV substation. The visit aimed to address ongoing technical problems that are preventing the Damauli–Bharatpur 132 kV transmission line from operating at full capacity.
To increase the electricity transfer capacity from 70 MW to 130 MW, the replacement of conductors has been deemed necessary. This transmission line is considered crucial for connecting the hydropower projects in the Marsyangdi and Dordi corridors to the national grid.
Shakya has instructed the Hetauda Grid Division to complete the remaining work on the substation within the next one to two days.
The NEA stated that it is committed to operating all transmission lines and power generation facilities at full capacity, ensuring quality service while contributing to the national economy through increased energy exports.
