Basically indicates the historical perspectives of electric power in Nepal but not limited to this only. The present scenario as well as possibilities in future are also the part of the content.
The history of electricity development of Nepal is not so old and has crossed 95 years since the start of construction of Pharping Hydro-electric Plant ( 500 KW) in 1911. Today, Nepal has an electric power of total installed capacity 609 MW in Integrated Power System with the major contribution from 25 numbers of hydroelectric plants. Out of total electric power, about 91 % is contributed from hydro-electric plants and rest of 9 % is supported from diesel plants.
The existing largest hydro-electric plant in the country is Kaligandaki-A (144 MW). The generated electric power has been transmitted through 132 KV double circuit transmission line of 2076 km, 66 KV double circuit of 586 km, 66 KV double circuit underground cables of 7 km and 33 KV single circuits of 2485 km within the country. The country has a total sub- station capacity of 1089 MVA to date.
