6 substations are under construction to make electricity supply sufficient, reliable, quality and safe in Kathmandu Valley. Nepal Electricity Authority is constructing 6 substations of 132/11 kV at various locations in Kathmandu and Bhaktapur to improve the electricity transmission and distribution system within the valley.
Out of this, Teku substation of Kathmandu has been put into operation . Futung and Mulpani substations are in final stages . Both the substations are being put into operation within two months.
The construction of Changunarayan substation in Bhaktapur has been completed. All that remains is to bring the substation into operation (charge). Chobhar substation is being constructed in the coming June and Bhaktapur's Thimi substation will be operational within 8 months.
Each substation has a capacity of 90/90 MVA . After the construction of the substation is completed and put into operation, the infrastructure capable of supplying about 500 megawatts of electricity will be ready in Kathmandu Valley. Currently, the electricity demand of Kathmandu Valley is around 500 MW.
in the future In order to address the potential demand for electricity that may increase, the authority has set a deadline of 2050 and advanced the process of construction of transmission and distribution infrastructure in major areas of Kathmandu Valley in a phased manner. By the year 2050, the highest demand for electricity in Kathmandu Valley is projected to reach 3,100 megawatts.
The land has been acquired for the construction of the substation. 220 KV transmission structure to surround the outer periphery of Kathmandu Valley, preparatory works including surveying have been completed.
Lapsiphedi substation of 400/220, 220/132 and 132/11 KV levels is under construction for the supply of electricity to Kathmandu Valley for the hydroelectric projects built in the Tamakosi and Sunkosi river watersheds .
To make the electricity supply of Kathmandu Valley reliable and modern, projects such as construction of new substations, automation of existing substations, undergrounding of electrical wires, addition and strengthening of new feeders and transformers are being carried out.
Authority Executive Director Kulman Ghising on Friday monitored the under-construction substation and asked to complete the construction as soon as possible to meet the increasing demand of electricity in Kathmandu Valley and to make the supply reliable and quality. He said that after all the under-construction substations come into operation, the electricity demand and supply management of Kathmandu will be much easier and the electricity supply will be more reliable and quality.
The construction of 132/11 KV substation at Mulpani in Kageshwari Manohara municipality is in the final stage for the improvement of electricity supply in the south-eastern region of Kathmandu. Chapli-Bhaktapur 132 KV transmission line will be connected to Mulpani substation and power supply will be provided. From the said substation, 8 feeders of 11 KV have been taken out for power supply in Jadibuti, Pepsicola, Kandaghari, Gothatar, Mulpani, Jorpati, Sanghu, Thimi and other areas. Work is being done to bring the substation into operation by March.
The construction of a new substation of 132/11 KV in Futung is in the final stage . Balaju-Chapli 132 KV double circuit transmission line will be 'tapping' at Futung substation and electricity will be supplied to that area . Work is underway to bring the substation into operation within two months. After the operation of the substation, the power supply of Balaju, Nepaltar, Goldhunga and other areas will be further improved.
Under the Thankot-Chapagaon-Bhaktapur 132 KV transmission line, which is considered important for improving the electricity supply of Kathmandu Valley, a 132/11 KV substation has been constructed at Chobhar in Kathmandu after the construction was interrupted in Lalitpur's Khokna, Bungmati, Harisidhi and Lamatar areas. Power supply will be provided from Matatirtha substation in the said substation. The goal is to put the substation into operation within the coming June.
A 132 KV underground line will be made from the substation in Chobhar to the Lagankhel substation in Lalitpur through the ring road . Lagankhel substation is being strengthened and made 132 kV . Then in the coming days, the line will be taken underground from there to Chapagaon and Harsiddhi. The improvement of transmission and distribution system has been advanced with the investment of Nepal government and authority, Asian Development Bank (ADB), Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and concessional loans of World Bank.
