Solution

Nepal is endowed with significant natural resources for electricity generation, primarily through hydropower and solar power. 

One of the hydropower station in Nepal is Upper Trishuli III A.

Upper Trishuli III A :

  • Capacity: 60 MW
  • Type of Electricity Produced: The Upper Trishuli III A Hydropower Station in Nepal produces alternating current (AC) electricity. Renewable energy is generated from flowing water.
  • Transmission: The electricity generated is transmitted through a network of high-voltage transmission lines to distribution centers across the country.  It is done through transformers.

One of the solar power plant in Nepal is Nuwakot Solar Power Station.

Nuwakot Solar Power Station :

  • Capacity: 25 MW (largest operational solar plant in Nepal)
  • Type of Electricity Produced: Solar photovoltaic (PV) energy is converted from sunlight into electricity. The Nuwakot Solar Power Station produces direct current (DC) electricity initially, which is then converted to alternating current (AC) for integration into the national grid.
  • Transmission: The generated electricity is connected to the 66 kV sub-station at Devighat Hydropower Station. This integration allows for effective management of energy supply and storage. After conversion to AC, the electricity is transmitted through transformers.

Both hydropower and solar power are crucial for Nepal's energy landscape.
