Nat’l grid to get 7 megawatt power soon

Ilam / February 2: The Sanima Mai Hydropower Project has generated seven megawatt electricity from its cascade project based at Danabari and Chisapani VDCs in Ilam district.

The project has started its test production recently by completing the entire construction works.

Administrative Officer of the project, Basanta Poudel, said that the power generated from the project would be connected to the national transmission grid after fixing the technical pitfalls traced in course of the test production.

The power would be linked to the central transmission line at the Kodak-based substation of Kabeli corridor.
