A partial section of Bharatpur-Bardaghat 220 kV transmission line from Bharatpur of Chitwan to Bardaghat of Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Susta east) has come into operation. The 56-km transmission line from the Bharatpur Metropolitan City-11 substation at Aaptari in Chitwan to Arun Khola in Nawalparasi was brought into operation on Monday. The Nepal electricity Authority (NEA) has charged the section where the construction was completed through alternative arrangements as it was not possible to send additional power from Bharatpur to Bardaghat due to obstruction at Dumkibas in Nawalparasi.
Problem of inadequate power supply to Parasi and Sunwal industrial areas of Nawalparasi is likely to be resolved forever. That’s because 24-hour power has been ensured to all industries operating there.
The Gandak-Parasi 33 kV double circuit and Butwal-Jamire (Sunwal) 33 kV single circuit transmission line constructed by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) have been brought into operation.
NEA Managing Director Kul Man Ghising said that the power supply problem of the industrial areas could be solved as soon as both the transmission lines came into operation.
The power supplied through the national transmission grid has reached Hongshi Cement Industry, which is operating in Sardi of Binayi Tribeni Rural Municipality, Nawalparasi (Bardaghat Susta East) in partnership between Chinese and Nepali investors.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) supplied electricity to the industry from Saturday through the Bardaghat-Sardi 132 kV transmission line from the substation in Bardaghat, said a press statement of NEA.
NAWALPARASI, Aug 28: Power supply has been disrupted here as substations under the Nepal Electricity Authority Distribution Centre, Parasi, got damaged due to incessant rainfall and inundation for the past few days.
Chief of NEA Distribution Centre, Parasi, Chutun Kumar Shreevastav, said the power supply was disrupted as the breaker and other equipment of the sub-station were filled with water after rain and subsequent inundation, adding that there was no situation to resume power supply immediately.
He further said though power supply from NEA Parasi sub-stations has been obstructed, it has been managed through NEA Distribution Centre, Parasi, from Gandak Power House, Bardaghat and sub-stations of Sunawal bazaar area, for the time being.
The devices used in power supply though sub-stations are found dysfunctional and partly damaged due to inundation.
As informed, it will take a few days to operate the centre and resume the power supply from there. Office Chief Shreevastav shared that they were managing technical human resources to bring back the services which will take some more days.
The center is distributing power to 44,000 consumers. For the time being, 35, 000 of them are supplied with the power from Gandak Power House, Bardaghat and Sunwal Bazaar based substations.
Shreevastav further shared that electricity supply is being arranged for the low consumptive households and industries from other alternative sources of energy while high consumptive industries receiving power from 11,000 KV transformers are urged to wait for some time.
KATHMANDU, July 27: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has increased the capacity of its substations at Damak in Jhapa and Bardaghat in Nawalparasi to make the power supply systematic, reliable and effective.
