December 6: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) is planning to build infrastructure to consume 2,000 MW of electricity within five years in the Bara-Parsa Industrial Corridor of Province 2 under the campaign to consume electricity generated within the country.

NEA is going to build infrastructure related to power transmission and distribution in Simara, Nijgadh, Birgunj, Parwanipur, Pokhariya, Prasauni and other areas of Bara-Parsa Industrial Corridor targeting the industries currently in operation and those opening in the coming days.

NEA has been working with high priority to expand and strengthen the infrastructure under short-term and long-term plans to increase the consumption of electricity by providing reliable and quality electricity to the industries. NEA has put forward the concept of construction of a 400 KV transmission line along the Postal Highway for the expansion of power lines in the Terai region.

In order to make the power supply of industries in Simara and Birgunj region reliable, work is underway to add new towers and remove old conductors. This is expected to increase the capacity of Hetauda-Parwanipur 66 KV double circuit transmission line. As the capacity of the transmission line will be almost doubled after the completion of the work, additional power supply can be provided to the industries.

There is a plan to build a new substation in Piluwa area of ​​Bara connecting the Hetauda-Dhalkebar 400 KV transmission line that is under construction. Similarly, a substation is being constructed in Pokhariya of Parsa. NEA will immediately provide 200 MW of electricity to the industries operating in Simara and Parwanipur areas under the short-term plan to increase electricity consumption. The steel industries operating in the area have been demanding more electricity for capacity expansion.  

Up to 200 MW additional power can be provided to the industries operating in Bara-Parsa Industrial Corridor for the moment. An additional load of 20.5 MW has been approved for Ashok Steel. As the industry currently has 16 MVA capacity transformers, electricity can be supplied according to the same capacity. NEA has stated that they can supply as much electricity as demanded after adding transformers.
