Update on hydro development in Nepal

摘要

Production at Nepal's 60 MW Kulekhani 1 project was cut in half by a short circuit in a cable that occurred in February. The project - on the Kulekhani River - is the only reservoir-type hydroelectric plant in the country, according to owner the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). Kulekhani 1 is intended to provide power for peak demand and emergencies, although NEA said recent rainfall in the area should allow other run-of-river facilities to keep pace with demand.
