On April 9th, a grand official operation ceremony of the Sanjin Kaola Hydropower Station in Nepal, which was invested and constructed by China Harbour Engineering Company Limited, was held in Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal. The successful operation of this project will significantly relieve the tight situation of local power supply in Nepal.

At the completion and official operation ceremony, Hitendra Dev Shakya, General Manager of the Nepal Electricity Authority, delivered a speech. He emphasized that the grid connection and operation of the Sanjin Kaola Hydropower Station is of great significance to Nepal. In particular, it can effectively reduce the power outage duration in industrial zones and provide more stable power support for industrial production.

Wang Xin, Chargé d'affaires ad interim of the Chinese Embassy in Nepal, said that the completion of the Sanjin Kaola hydropower project not only helps to optimize the local energy structure but also reduces electricity costs, injecting strong positive impetus into Nepal's economic development and promoting the further development of the local economy.

Deepak Khadka, Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation of Nepal, pointed out that the Sanjin Kaola Hydropower Station was put into operation during Nepal's dry season and was completed just in time for the 70th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Nepal and China. Such a practical cooperation project will undoubtedly further deepen the friendly ties between the two countries and promote exchanges and cooperation between the two countries in more fields.

It is reported that the Sanjin Kaola Hydropower Station is a run-of-river hydropower station, located in Rasuwa District in the central-northern part of Nepal. With a total installed capacity of 78 megawatts, it will continue to contribute significantly to Nepal's power industry in the future.  (This article is from the official website of Seetao.com, www.seetao.com.
