The Tadi Khola Hydroelectric Project is a 5 MW run-of-river project located in Nuwakot District, Central Development Region, Nepal. Developed by Mountain Energy Nepal Ltd., the project harnesses the Tadi Khola river with a gross head of 74.12 meters and a design discharge of 8.91 m³/s. It features a boulder-riprap weir with RCC cutoffs at an elevation of 798.50 masl, and uses a side intake structure with two 3.2 m × 2.4 m openings. The project includes an approach canal, desanding basin, and a forebay to manage sediment before water is diverted through a surface powerhouse. Commissioned in FY 2069 BS, the project generates a total of 32.48 GWh annually (7.13 GWh in dry season and 25.34 GWh in wet season). The powerhouse is located in Tadi Rural Municipality-3, with transmission connection to the national grid via NEA. The catchment area at the intake site is approximately 247 km². This project contributes to Nepal’s mid-scale hydropower sector with stable operation and proven performance over time.
