Lower Modi-2 (Cascade) Hydropower Project (10.5MW)

Lower Modi-2 Hydropower Project (10.5 MW) is being developed as the cascade project of the upstream Lower Modi-1 Hydropower project. The project is in its design phase. The energy generated from the project will be evacuated to the national grid by 3 km, 132 kv transmission line to existing Lower Modi-1 switchyard and then on common system to NEA Modi Substation at Dimuwa, Parbat. The connection agreement is concluded with NEA, and the PPA is in process. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) of the project is near to completion. The construction of the project is estimated to begin from early 2016.
