Suryakunda Hydro Electric Limited has stopped its electricity production after Nepal Electricity Authority’s Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub got completely damaged by a massive flood.
Suryakunda Hydro Shuts Down Operations
Suryakunda Hydro Electric Limited has stopped its project operations after the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub in Nuwakot got completely damaged. The company sent official letters to the Securities Board of Nepal (SEBON), Electricity Regulatory Commission, Nepal Stock Exchange (NEPSE), Department of Electricity Development, and CDS and Clearing Limited to inform them about this disruption on national transmission line.
Landslide and Flood Damage
According to the company, a landslide on 2083/04/11 at Suryagadhi Rural Municipality-2, Lachyang in Nuwakot had first damaged the 132 KV transmission line connecting the Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub to the Samundratar substation. This had caused some initial disruption to project. Just when repair works were almost complete and the line was about to run, a huge flood in Bhotekoshi river on 2083/05/10 completely destroyed the Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub located near Trishuli river.
No Damage to Company’s Own Project
The company shared that there is no damage to Suryakunda Hydro’s own project structures from these natural disasters. However, because the NEA’s Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub is fully destroyed, the company cannot transmit or evacuate its generated electricity, which has forced them to close down the power generation for now.
Suryakunda Hydro announced to resuming its operations only after an alternative arrangement is made for the national grid or after the Trishuli-3 ‘B’ Hub is fully restored and the power system becomes normal again.
