The Chilime-Trishuli 220 kV transmission line has reached the final phase of construction. The transmission line will feed the electricity generated from the hydroelectricity projects along the Trishuli River corridor and its tributaries to the national grid.
Final phase works are in progress for the completion of the 28 km transmission line from Chilime Hub Substation at Thambuchet of Aama Chhodingmo Rural Municipality in Rasuwa to the Trishuli Three B Hub Substation at Pahirebensi of Kispang Rural Municipality in Nuwakot district.
Seventy-five of the 76 towers of the transmission line have been constructed and works for installing the remaining tower have reached the final stage. Installation of power cable remains only in the 5 km section.
Around 200 workers have been employed for installing the tower and the power cables.
The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) aims to bring the transmission line into operation before the Dashain festival which falls next month.
The construction of the 220/132/33 kV Chilime Hub and Trishuli Three B Hub substations under the Chilime-Trishuli 220 kV Transmission Line Project has been completed.
A high-level team of NEA, including its Managing Director Kulman Ghising and Deputy Executive Director of the Transmission Directorate, Dirghayu Kumar Shrestha, conducted the field visit on Saturday.
The team held discussions with the project management, consultant and the contractor company and urged them to expedite the construction by adding workers if necessary.
The electricity produced from the 110 MW Rasuwagadhi and 42.5 MW Sanjen hydroelectricity projects developed at the initiatives of Chilime Hydroelectricity Company, a subsidiary company of NEA, would be fed to this transmission line.
While the construction work in both projects has been completed, they are in the phase of production.
