Hetauda-Bharatpur

The Hetauda-Bharatpur 220 kV transmission line has started operation. According to Nepal Electricity Authority, a 73-km double circuit power line was charged at 132kv capacity. With this, 170MW of electricity can be transmitted from Hetauda to Bharatpur and Bharatpur to Hetauda, up from 90MW through the existing 132kV line. The project started in 2008 but was delayed by local opposition.
