Tanahu Hydropower Project is located on the right bank of Seti River, about 150 km west of Kathmandu near Damauli, the district headquarters of Tanahu District. This is a storage type project, which is planned to have an installed capacity of 140 MW with an estimated annual energy generation of 585.7 GWh. The project consists of a concrete gravity dam with a maximum height above foundation level of 140m, a storage reservoir with a total volume of some 295 million m³, an underground tunnel of 7.4 m diameter and 1,388.75 m length, and an underground powerhouse with two Francis Turbines. The Project is designed for at least six hours of peak operation during the driest months of the year. This will play a vital role in Nepal’s seasonal energy security and reduction of energy import.
