Construction of Bharatpur-Bardghat transmission line completed after 13 years

Kathmandu; The construction of the Bharatpur-Bardaghat 220 kV double-circuit transmission line has been completed after 13 years.

The project is viewed significantly in terms of facilitating the distribution of power generated in the eastern parts to the western parts of the country. The 74-kilometer line that originates from Aaptari-based New Bharatpur Substation in Bharatpur Metropolis-11 in Chitwan ends at the Bardaghat Substation of Nawalparasi ( Bardaghat-Susta East)

The infrastructure has the capacity of transmission of up to 1,000 megawatts of electricity. Initially, it will be operated partially (132-kV). According to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), with the construction of the transmission line, it will ease the electricity supply from Bharatpur to the western parts of the country.
