Oli Government Buys 800 MW Of Electricity From India By Wasting 175 MW
The government has given priority to additional power imports from India, leaving the focus on immediate completion of hydropower projects in the country. According to the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, the ninth meeting of the Nepal-India Joint Technical Team has decided to provide additional 100 MW of electricity to Nepal. Following the decision, a total of 400 MW of electricity will be imported from the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur interstate transmission line.
According to the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, more electricity is being imported for the management during the current dry season. According to NEA, the project is currently generating 6,369 MW of electricity. Similarly, 5,375 MW of electricity is being generated from the projects of private energy entrepreneurs.
Similarly, the electricity being imported from India is 14,458 MW per hour. The total demand is 26,202 hours. Calculated in megawatts, the total demand is 1,464 MW.
The KP Oli-led government has been criticized for focusing on power imports instead of strengthening the projects that will generate electricity immediately.
The project, which was completed in the Solu Corridor due to lack of transmission line, has not been able to connect electricity to the national transmission line. Similarly, electricity is being wasted in Dolakha due to lack of transmission line. The condition of Dordi corridor is similar.
If the government uses resources, it can immediately add 100 MW of electricity to the country. However, no attention has been paid to constructing transmission lines and adding electricity from the completed projects.
Instead, the focus is on bringing more electricity from India. As per the details received on Saturday, an additional 100 MW of electricity is being imported from India. A total of 800 MW of electricity will be imported from India.
The 23.5 MW Upsolu Hydropower Project has started generating and transmitting electricity since last year. Due to the failure to build the Solu Corridor, only 50 percent of the total installed capacity is connected to a local substation.
Investment in the project is also at risk due to untimely completion of the Solu Corridor. However, the state has not been able to complete the transmission line on time.
The project has a power house in Soludhudhkund Municipality-7 of Solukhumbu. The promoters have been in big trouble as the electricity generated from the project could not be connected to the national transmission line.
The project is under Super Six. These projects have been given more discounts and other benefits by the state. However, the generated electricity has not been transmitted. The project costing a total of Rs 4.5 billion is about to reach the stage of not being able to repay even the bank loan. However, the government has not been able to complete the transmission line.
Similarly, the condition of Thapa river in Mustang is similar. The project with a total capacity of 13.5 MW has not been connected to its full capacity. There is also a lack of transmission line.
More than Rs 23 billion has been invested in hydropower in Lamjung district alone, known as the district of hydropower. If these projects are trusted by the state, they can be connected to the national system within a month.
According to sources, five projects are currently under construction in the district alone. Similarly, five more projects are being prepared for construction.
People's Hydropower Company's 54 MW Super Dordi 'B', Himalayan Power Partner's 27 MW Dordikhola, Liberty Energy Limited's 25 MW Upper Dordi 'A' hydropower projects are under construction.
With the completion of these transmission lines, the construction of 25 MW Upper Dordi A and 27 MW Dordikhola can be completed. Only after the completion of these two projects can 52 MW of electricity be added to the system. However, no decision has been made on when the transmission line will be completed.
In the same corridor, Dordikhola Hydropower Company is constructing 12.1 MW Dordi-1 and Chyangdi Khola Hydropower Company is constructing 4 MW capacity hydropower projects in Dordi Corridor.
Most of them have completed 55 to 90 percent construction work. The project under construction is being constructed with the investment of private sector and locals. After the completion of these projects, 125 MW of electricity will be generated.
If the construction of the transmission line was completed, the promoters of those projects would also be under pressure and the work would be completed soon.
People's Hydropower, the largest capacity of the Dordi Corridor, has completed 55 percent of the 54 MW Super Dordi B and 12.1 MW Dordi-1 under construction by Dordi Khola Hydropower Company. Even those projects are being pushed back after construction due to lack of transmission line.
People's Hydropower is constructing the Super Dordi 'B' (54 MW) project on the uppermost bank of the Dordi corridor at an estimated cost of Rs 8.80 billion. The residents of the affected areas and the residents of the district alone have invested Rs. 270 million in the project.
The 27 MW Dordi Khola Hydropower Project is being constructed at an investment of Rs 3.86 billion. Similarly, the construction of Upper Dordi 'A' 25 MW project being constructed by Liberty Energy Company has been started with a total investment of Rs 4.63 billion.
If there is a similar transmission line, 36 MW of electricity can be added immediately from the two projects in Dolakha. Those projects that have been completed are pushing back the work due to lack of transmission line.
An additional 25 MW can be added from Singtikhola and 11 MW from Lower Kharekhola.
There is no decision on where to connect the electricity generated from the 25 MW Singatikhola Hydropower Project under NEA's Super-6 project. According to the promoters, it is not known when the construction of Singati-Lamosanghu 132 KV transmission line, which started in October 2008, will be completed.
There is a land dispute at the site of construction of seven towers in Bhimeshwar Municipality-8 and 9 out of 124 of the Singti-Lamosanghu transmission line.
NEA is paying 45 percent compensation to the 10 MW Sipringkhola Hydropower Project, which was completed four years ago due to lack of transmission line, on the basis of meter reading.
Similarly, construction of sub-stations at Singati and Lamosanghu is also in abeyance.
Similarly, construction of Upper Khimti Hydropower Project 12 MW and Upper Khimti 7 MW at Ramechhapa has been completed. A total of 19 MW of electricity is wasted due to lack of transmission line. Work on Ramechhap-Khimti-Gajrang transmission line and substation has not progressed.
Similarly, the 86 MW Solu Khola (Dudhkoshi) Hydropower Project promoted by Sahas Urja Limited, which is preparing to sell ordinary shares, is also being delayed due to lack of transmission line. If there was a transmission line, it could have been said that the project should be completed soon.
The company is preparing to issue 15 million ordinary shares equal to Rs 1.5 billion, which is 30 percent of the issued capital of Rs 3.5 billion.
Similarly, the work of Rasuwagadhi and Sanjen projects has not been effective due to the government's inability to pay attention.
