A bird's view of the Upper Marsyangdi A Hydroelectric Project.
As of June 30, 2024, the Upper Marsyangdi A Hydroelectric Project in Nepal, built by POWERCHINA, had achieved a cumulative power generation of 1,66.79 million kilowatt-hours this year, with a cumulative grid-connected power generation of 1,65.75 million kWh, a year-on-year increase of 5.6 percent. This is a new record for this period since the station began operating, creating a solid foundation for achieving the annual power generation target.
This year, the project company seized upon the high water levels in the first half of the year, aiming to maximize power generation and minimize water wastage, with all available power for the year fully utilized.
The Upper Marsyangdi A Hydroelectric Project is the first power project funded and built by POWERCHINA in Nepal, with main construction commencing in early 2013 and commercial operation starting on Jan 1, 2017, 182 days ahead of schedule.
The station has consistently provided high-quality, stable, and clean energy to Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, and its top tourist city, Pokhara, offering reliable power support for the development of the country's two major cities. Thus, the project has received several honors from the Nepalese government, including the "Electric Power Development Contribution Award", "Outstanding Contribution to Power Supply Award" and "Special Contribution Award in the Hydropower Industry", as well as some from China and POWERCHINA.
