The operation of the Kulekhani hydropower project has been stopped from Saturday to install the 'Automachine' in the first and second units.
After shutting down the project, Kulekhani is going to be connected to Automachine first and second. Since there is no need to generate electricity from Kulekhani during the rainy season, Tara Dutt Bhatta, the head of the project, said, "Shutdown" will be taken at this time to connect the automatic machine for maintenance.
"Since Kulekhani first and second projects built about 43 years ago are old models, we are going to install automatic machines in them," he said.
Kulekhani, which was built only four years ago, has an automatic machine installed in the third.
Nepali technicians are doing the auto machine connection work . Related technicians have been brought from Kaligandaki, Madhyamrsyangdi and Devighat for this work. According to the technicians, it will take about a month to complete the connection.
Kulekhani 1st and 2nd Kulekhani are installing automatic machines while Kulekhani 3rd is performing maintenance work. After Kulekhani 1st and 2nd are not operational, the third one will not be operational . Bringing water from the second will generate electricity in the third.
Kulekhani's three projects are now closed. Kulekhani, which is a 'backup' of Nepal Electricity Authority, has been put into operation during the dry season. At that time, the project is conducted on the basis of electricity consumption. Kulekhani 1st, 2nd and 3rd have been constructed for the purpose of using the water collected in Indrasarovar.
Kulekhani produces 60 megawatts of electricity from the first, 32 from the second and 14 from the third. In the year 2039, the construction of Indrasarovar Lake was done at a cost of 12 million US dollars .
