About

The Siuri Khola Hydropower Station is a 5 MW run-of-river project located in Lamjung District, Gandaki Province, Nepal. It utilizes the flow of the Siuri Khola, a tributary of the Marsyangdi River, with a gross head of approximately 458.8 meters and a net head of 452.4 meters. The project has been operational since October 16, 2012 (2069-06-30 BS) and features two horizontal shaft Pelton turbines, each rated at 2.65 MW, generating about 32.10 GWh annually. Infrastructure includes a gravity weir diversion dam, side intake collecting from Liuri and Siuri Khola, a gravel trap, desander basin, an 864-meter headrace tunnel, and an 807-meter penstock pipe with a diameter of 0.95 meters. Power evacuation is via an 8 km, 33 kV single-circuit transmission line connected to the Nyadi switching station. The project is owned by Siuri Nyadi Power Ltd. (formerly Nyadi Group Pvt Ltd) and sells electricity under a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA). The license will expire in 2101 BS, after which the plant will be handed over to the government.
