The Seti Hydropower Station, located in Kaski District of Gandaki Province, Nepal, is a run-of-river hydropower plant that operates in conjunction with a dual-purpose canal system providing both power generation and irrigation. Commissioned in November 1985, the plant has an installed capacity of 1.5 MW, consisting of three horizontal Francis turbines rated at 0.5 MW each. The plant operates with a gross and net head of approximately 22.5 meters and draws water from a gravity weir on the Seti Gandaki River. The total length of waterways including headrace pipes and canals is approximately 7.7 km, with a penstock length of about 90 meters. Owned and operated by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the station generates around 10–11 GWh annually, with seasonal variability reflecting irrigation water usage. Power is transmitted via an 11 kV line integrated into the national grid. The project plays a vital role in supporting local irrigation needs alongside power production, highlighting its multi-functional utility.
