TAPLEJUNG, Nov 28: The 13.5 MW Super Kabeli 'A' Hydropower Project in Taplejung-8 will be linked to the national transmission line by Saturday.
The testing of the transmission line, which began on November 21, has been successfully completed, according to Meghnath Dhungana, the project's public relations officer. Following the successful test, technicians from Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) will carry out a final check before connecting the line to the national grid.

The project, developed by Snow Rivers Limited, faced several challenges, including floods and landslides, which delayed construction. However, it was completed within the expected timeframe. The Super Kabeli 'A' Hydropower Project, with an estimated cost of Rs 195 million per megawatt, has cost approximately Rs 2.63 billion.
