26 Tamor Storage Hydroelectric Project Historical Background Project Identification : Identified in JICA Koshi Basin Master Plan Study (1995) as storage project. NEA carried out Preliminary study of the project by NEA in Survey Licensed issued to NEA on 2070/4/16 (2013/7/31for 200 MW and for full supply level 450 masl without affecting upstream projects ( Kabeli A and Hewa). NEA has carried out Alternative Study of Tamor Storage HEP inorder to optimize the available resources. The study concluded that optimized dam height at 208m is financially very attractive

27 Comparison of Alternatives Description Alternative 1 Alternative 2 Installed Capacity (MW) Full Supply Level (masl) Dry Season Energy, November to April (GWh) Wet Season Energy, May to October (GWh) Average Annual Energy (GWh) Base Cost (Million US$ Price Level) Specific Energy Cost as of the Year 2013 (Rs. per kwh) Benefit Cost Ratio(LRMC) /5/

28 Result of the Studies Tamor is the high sediment laden river. In case of Alternative -1, Rockfill Dam is not feasible. Concrete gravity with the provision of flushing arrangement might be marginally feasible. Alternative-2 is considered with rockfill dam with reservoir life of 50 years, FSL at 550 masl. Installed capacity of 762 MW is found to be optimum. Alternative -2 is technically feasible and economically viable. It is quite attractive. Minimum disturbance in the natural settings. Only about 250 households to be relocated. Capacity and annual energy would be increased to 762MW/3152 GWH from 252 MW/1109 GWH (Almost 3 times), however, cost would increase from 609 to 1217 million US$. Development at 450m FSL : Lost the opportunity to produce 510 MW of reliable power and energy of 2042 GWhr at the cost of 607 million US$. 6/5/

29 Upper Modi A HEP: Upper Scheme of Modi Cascade Located in Kaski district Installed Capacity - 42 MW Average Energy output GWh Design Discharge m 3 /sec Cost : 8747 Million NRs Specific energy cost: 4.5Rs/kWh ROE: 14% at 70:30 Gross Head = m Tunnel Length =5.9 km Surface Powerhouse Approximately 10 km of access road need to be constructed and some portion of the road need to be upgraded Short Transmission line of about 11.5 km length. 29

30 UPPER MODI HEP Cascade Development of Upper Modi A HEP No Headworks NEA obtained Survey License as agreed on Joint Development Agreement (JDA) between NEA and K- Water for the Cascade Development Feasibility Study in 2014 Headwork is located at Sayauli Bazar and Powerhouse is located near Birethanti Bazar Gross Head = 133 m Capacity =18 MW Energy : 95.7 GWh Transmission line : 5 km Cost : Mill US$ 30

31 Andhikhola Storage Hydroelectric Project Syangja District, Western Development Region Located : Syangja District, Western Development Region. Based on feasibility study (1998 A.D) Annual energy generation : 693 GWh. Installed capacity 180 MW. Gross Head: 307 m gross head. Dam height 157 m Tunnel Length:3395 m long Project cost : 374 million US$. Unit cost per Kilowatt : US $. Nearby the urban centre, short access road and short transmission line Obtained the license of the project on B.S 2071/06/02 31

33 FINAL WORDS Reservoir project to firm up power, make the excess energy marketable and to absorb the consequences of climate change Need to invest about 20 billion US$ in the next ten years for generation projects only to meet the national objective of generating 10,000 MW in the decade.. Different modalities of development of hydropower are required to be encouraged.
