January 9: The Muzaffarpur-Dhalkebar-Khimti transmission line will be connected with Kathmandu from January 14. 

Thanks to the speedy construction, the works of transmission line will be completed within the deadline.

Upon completion, the line will be supplying 40MW electricity that will arrive from India via the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur transmission line.

The works of the transmission line will be completed with the given timeframe as 40MW electricity will be coming to the transmission line of Kathmandu from February 1.

According to Parabal Adhikari, Spokesperson of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the system will be readied to supply power after testing.

Muzaffarpur-Dhalkebar-Khimti is one of the shortest transmission lines from India to bring electricity to Kathmandu.

Dhalkebar-Hetauda-Kulekhani-Matatirtha-Syuchatar is another line to bring transmission line in Kathmandu from India.

“Bringing the electricity from the line will create problem of voltage due to its length,” said Adhikari, adding, “So, we will be using the Khimti-Dhalkebar transmission line.”

He further said that another objective behind establishing the transmission line is to distribute electricity coming to Hetauda on the same area including east and south which the NEA has been planning.

The Authority informed that while connecting the electricity to sub-station of Dhalkebar-Hetauda transmission line, the power will be distributed in the areas of Dhalkebar, Pathlaiya, Parwanipur, Simara, Birgunj, Chandranigahapur along with Kamane and Chaukitol of Hetauda.

After being appointed as the Minister for Energy, Janardan Sharma had visited the construction site of the transmission line and directed the NEA to complete the project promptly.

He had said that the installation of 415 transmission towers out of total 792 was finished after his first field visit.

The project has been facing problems regarding the use of land in the jungle areas.

NEA has targeted to install the remaining 377 towers within the next five months.

Currently, 120MW electricity is being imported from India through the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur line.

As the present transmission capacity of the transmission line is unable to bear the load of the current import of 120MW and 40 MW which will be added later, additional transformer has been installed at the Muzaffarpur sub-station at India to increase the capacity.

NEA has been targeting to upgrade the transmission line to 400KV.  

Electricity coming from India to Dhalkebar will be supplied through the 220KV Dhalkebar-Khimti Transmission Line.

The imported power will then arrive Kathmandu Valley through the route of Dhalkebar-Khimti-Lamosaghu-Bhaktapur-Kathmandu.

NEA is planning to bring maximum of 90MW electricity into the capital through the same route.
