4.4 MW Hydropower Project of Radhi Bidyut Company Halted Due to Flood and Landslide

The 4.4 MW run-of-river Radhi Sana Hydropower Project of Radhi Bidyut Company Limited (RADHI) has been halted due to the flood.

The energy production has been put on hold due to damage to the Radhi Sana Hydropower Project's (4.4 MW) headworks and head race pipe caused by the flood and landslide last Friday i.e. on Ashad 22.

The company is currently operating a 4.4MW Radhi Small hydropower project, located in Lamjung district, Gandaki Province of Nepal. The project is a run-of-the-river (R-o-R) type and has been developed at a 40% probability of exceedance (Q40). The project was commissioned on June 14, 2014, around one year later than the required commercial operation date (RCOD) of April 13, 2013.
