Significant progress has been reported for the Upper Tamor Hydropower Project, located in Taplejung district of Koshi Province. This development brings the country closer to enhancing its domestic energy production capabilities.
Recent updates indicate that the project has secured its full financial closure, paving the way for accelerated construction work. This milestone is crucial for large-scale infrastructure projects, ensuring the necessary capital is in place.
The Upper Tamor project is designed to have a capacity of 285 megawatts (MW), which will be a substantial addition to Nepal's national grid. Its completion is expected to contribute significantly to reducing the country's reliance on imported electricity, especially during peak demand periods.
Local communities in the Taplejung area are also anticipating positive impacts. The construction phase is already creating employment opportunities, and the project is expected to bring further infrastructure development to the region.
Developers are now focusing on the main civil construction activities, with a projected completion date within the next few years. This progress marks an important step towards Nepal's goal of becoming an energy-sufficient nation.
