UPPER CHAMELIYA HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT (40MW)

 

 

Upper Chameliya Hydroelectric Project is a run-off-river type project located Lattinath, Guljar and Tapoban VDC's of Darchula district, Mahakali zone, Far Western Region of Nepal. This Project Utilizes the 40% probablility discharge of 22.79 m3/s with gross head of 215m to generate 40 MegaWatt power. The generated power will be evacuated through 16 km long, 132kV double circuit transmission line from project switchyard to Balanch Substation. The Intake and Weir is proposed downstream of the confluence of Rugru Gad and Chameliya river at Guljar VDC. Major Structures of the Project are Diversion Weir & Intake, Settling Basin, Headrace Pipe, Surge Tank, Penstock Pipe, Powerhouse and Tailrace canal. The Powerhouse site is proposed at Lama Bagar of Lattinath VDC, Darchula district just u/s the confluence of Odkhet Khola and Chameliya river. The whole alignment runs along the left bank of the river.
