Speaking at an interaction program organized by the Reporters Club Nepal in the capital on Monday, DPM Rayamajhi said the government has planned to complete those incomplete power projects, expedite renovation works of those that have been damaged, supply sufficient fuel required for the projects, build up transmission lines, and encourage solar power plants within the declared Energy Crisis Alleviation Era.
The hydropower project of 250 megawatts is at the final phase. It will yield around 100 megawatts during winter, said Rayamajhi. He added that if the renovation work of those damaged projects gets completed, over 100 more megawatts power can be generated. Similarly, over 1,200 megawatts energy will be produced by harnessing solar energy in the next year, said Rayamajhi.
Now-a-days, the transformer is breaking down due to excessive use of heater. The consumes have been hit hard since there is no technology to fix more than one damaged transformer, said Rayamajhi.
