April 27: The construction works of the 87 MW Tamakoshi-V Hydropower Project has been started.

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) commenced the construction of the hydropower project by establishing a Tamakoshi Hydropower Company a few weeks ago. 

According to Nasib Pradhan, chief of the project, water that comes from the tailrace after being used by another Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project will flow through the tunnel from Lamabagar.

He further added that the construction has started by building an underground powerhouse near Suridobhan using the water that flows through the tunnel from Jagat of Lamabagar.

The main civil contractor Sino Hydro which constructed the Upper Tamakoshi project is constructing the underground intake of this project as well.

The total investment of the project is Rs 13 billion. According to a source, Tamakoshi-V is cheap according to per unit electricity generation investment.

The project-related staff said that the investment of the hydropower project will cost less as the project is being built by not constructing a dam, which will automatically save nature as all the structures are constructed underground.

According to the detailed project report (DPR), four units of 25 MW capacity each will be installed in the project. Water will be dropped from 160 m head through a 5.6 m diameter and 8.02 km tunnel from the Upper Tamakoshi Project.

 The electricity generated will be linked to the Upper Tamakoshi substation through a 132 KV single circuit transmission line.
