About

The Ridi Khola Hydropower Project is a 2.4 MW run-of-river facility located in Palpa District, Lumbini Province, Nepal. The project utilizes the flow of the Ridi Khola River, a tributary of the Kali Gandaki River, with a gross hydraulic head of approximately 94.5 meters and a design discharge of around 3.2 cubic meters per second. Commissioned on October 27, 2009 (2066-07-10 BS), the plant contributes an estimated annual energy generation of 15.73 GWh. The project uniquely integrates combined irrigation and power generation functions, serving local agricultural needs alongside electricity production. The hydropower plant is connected to the national grid through a 33 kV transmission line and operates under a Power Purchase Agreement with Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). Funded with support from international development partners, including the World Bank, the project reflects Nepal’s efforts in sustainable rural electrification and multipurpose water resource utilization. The generation license remains valid until 2099-02-16 BS.
