The 6-megawatt Rele Khola Hydropower Project in Myagdi has been forced to shut down after significant damage from recent floods.
The Rele Khola Hydropower Project, with a capacity of 6 megawatts, has halted all electricity generation. This project, located in Narchyang, Annapurna Rural Municipality-4 of Myagdi, stop producing power since Asar 28. The shutdown happened after severe floodwaters entered and damaged the project’s main dam, which is also known as the intake structure.
Darshanik Kafle, the project chief, reported that the road leading up to the dam has also been blocked by a landslide, making access difficult. Beside the damage to the dam, the project is also suffering financial losses because of the interruption in power production.
The Rele Khola Hydropower Project was completed only last year. Its generated electricity connects to the national grid through the Dana substation.
