Midim Khola project sits idel two years after completion

Kathmandu February 18- Midim Khola Micro Hydropower Project based in Karaputar, Lamjung, has remained idle even two years after its construction completed.

Initially, the power generation was halted for a year due to the absence of Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). But immediately after the signing of the PPA, the 100KW project’s canal was swept away by landslide in July 2015.

The project was developed by Ishaneshwor-based Deurali Multipurpose Cooperative.
