September 14: Upper Marsyangdi-A with the capacity of 50MW has started its trial production. “The technician team of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has started the trial production from two turbines of power house,” informed Karna Adhikari, Public Relation Officer of the project.


Various divisions of the projects are also being tested since the last week. According to Adhikari, the trial production from the 11KV transmission line of project site of Bhulbhule, to Madhya Marsyangdi 11KV transmission line was examined simultaneously.  “Presently, we have finished assessment of tunnel, power house and damn,” informed Adhikari.


Adhikari informed that the charge check was also done on the presence of the NEA technicians. He said, “Production of electricity shall be started from this week given that NEA grants permission.” “Both turbines installed in the project has been examined. Once the commercial production of electricity starts, actual figure of electricity produced from each turbine can be known.”


According to the project, both turbine has the capacity of 25/25MW. If the schedule does not alter then the formal inauguration of the project will be held on September 26. Earlier, the project was scheduled to complete on April-May of the last FY. However, due to the last year earthquake and border blockade, the project got delay by six months. The project had aimed to produce electricity from October this year. 


The project is a joint venture project of Sinohydro of China and Sagarmatha Power of Nepal. Based on the current state, the project will start electricity production on the targeted schedule. Sinohydro and Sagarmatha Power Company has done 90 percent and 10 percent of investment respectively on the project. 


Stakeholders believe that the power cut will decrease to some extent with the completion of the project. The project is constructed on ‘run of the river’ technology. Initially, prediction of Rs 12 billion investment was made. However, due to the border blockade and various protests, its investment amount has swelled by Rs two billion costing to Rs 12 billion.
