The Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project, damaged by the July 8 flood triggered by Tibet’s Lhyende stream, has partially resumed operations. After repairs to the headworks, one of the project’s three units—capable of generating 37 MW—was reactivated on Saturday using a river diversion arrangement. Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) officials said the remaining two units will resume within a month, and the full headworks reconstruction will be completed before next year’s monsoon. Once fully operational, the 111 MW project is expected to generate 613.875 million units of electricity annually, producing revenue of around Rs 3.25 billion.
