Electricity supply will be more convenient, 132 KV double circuit transmission line from Hetaunda to Dhalkebar will be replaced.
The construction of Dhalkebar-Bara section has been completed under the Hetaunda-Dhalkebar-Inruwa 400 KV transmission line project which is under construction to strengthen and make reliable the electricity transmission system within the country and to expand the electricity trade between Nepal and India.
The construction of 100 km transmission line has been completed from Dhalkebar substation in Dhanusha to Saraswati Danda on the border of Bara and Makwanpur through Mahottari, Sarlahi, Rautahat towards the west.
The construction of 154 km 400 KV double circuit transmission line has been completed from Dhalkebar in Dhanusha to Inaruwa substation located in Bhokraha Narsingh Rural Municipality-4 of Sunsari towards the east and has been operational since last June. To facilitate the flow of electricity from Dhalkebar to the west, a circuit of 400 KV transmission line about 60 km to Jaganl near Chandranigahpur (Chapur) market in Rautahat has been brought into operation (charged) at 132 KV.
The currently running east-west 132 KV transmission line was tapped at that location and the 400 KV transmission line was charged to 132 KV on Thursday in the presence of Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising. Ghising said that the 400 KV that was completed to remove the obstacles of the existing infrastructure to send electricity from Dhalkebar to the west and from the west to Dhalkebar was charged at 132 KV.
In order to solve the current energy shortage in winter, additional electricity can be imported from India through the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur international transmission line in the afternoon, with this water from semi-reservoir projects such as Kulekhani Reservoir, Upper Tamakoshi, Kaligandaki, Marsyangdi, Madhyamarsyangdi can be collected during the day and used in the evening and at night. This will make it easier to manage the electricity supply from Dhalkebar to the west,' Ghising said, 'After the start of dry season, the excess electricity consumed in the country can be transferred from the west to Dhalkebar and the amount of electricity export to India can be increased. Also, it has become easier to carry on the work of increasing the capacity by changing the conductor of the currently running 132 KV transmission line.
The authority is working on the upgrading (changing of wires) of the 132 KV double circuit transmission line from Hetaunda to Dhalkebar in Makwanpur. To increase the capacity of the East-West 132 KV double circuit transmission line, the old low capacity wire in the 136 km section from Hetaunda to Dhalkebar substation is going to be replaced with a new high capacity wire.
