February 14: Kushaha-Kataiya 132 KV transmission line has entered into its trial phase after completion of the construction works.

Currently, tests of the transmission line and other installed equipments before charge are being conducted. The 15-kilometer transmission line was completed in around 10 months.

According to Laxmi Narayan Mukhiya, Project Manager of the Kushaha-Kataiya Cross-Border Transmission Line, which was completed a week before, the line is prepared for charge in two weeks.

The transmission line is an international transmission line between Nepal and India in the eastern part of Nepal. Currently, the transmission line is used for importing electricity from India. However, it is also planned to export electricity to India from the same line in the future.

The transmission line was constructed with the grant of Indian government. Likewise, Nepal has invested for tower construction and land used under the line. According to Mukhiya, the compensation amount will amount to Rs 50 million. Of the total 15 kilometers of transmission line, 12 kilometers falls in Nepalese territory.

The towers which have a capacity for double circuit has only single circuit installed at present.  Some 70 to 75 MW of electricity can be supplied through single circuit line. As per the Nepal- India agreement, additional 50 MW of electricity will be transmitted from the line at present. Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has said that the imported electricity will be used to end the power cut problem faced in eastern Nepal.
