At this time when Nepal is reeling with 16 hours of power cuts every day, Nepal needs many medium and small hydropower projects that can be installed at the shortest time. If it wants to address the power deficit problem, the role of quick viable projects will be crucial. Lower Modi Khola Hydroelectric Project is one such project. The foundation stone of this project was laid on March 4, 2009. Situated in Parbat District, this project is a Run-of-River type having 20 MW installed capacity. With the source river Modi, this project will be able to generate about 124GWh of energy annually. The project requires no additional access road and only about 4.5 km transmission line to connect it to the National Grid. If it gains support from all quarters, this project can be constructed in 2.5 years time. The project has already obtained financial commitment from Nepal Investment Bank Limited. The contract for the office building has been awarded. The detail design is currently under final review for construction. Hydro Solutions Group, KL Dugar Group, Murarka Group and Debenara Group are promoting this project.
