Station, which was built by China Power Construction, has officially entered commercial power generation, which will effectively make up for

Nepal’s power gap and promote the adjustment of Nepal’s energy structure. It is of great significance to promote the rapid socio-economic

development of Nepal.

The total installed capacity of Shangtamaxi Hydropower Station is 456 megawatts, and 6 hydro-generator units are designed to be installed.

It mainly passes through an 8-kilometer water diversion tunnel and uses a drop of 822 meters to generate electricity. The maximum effective

storage capacity is 2.2 million cubic meters, and the maximum water storage height is 17 meters. POWERCHINA 11th Bureau of Hydropower

mainly undertakes the construction of civil engineering 1 standard dam head, sand settling tank, diversion tunnel, pressure shaft, surge well

and other projects.

The Shangtamaxi Hydropower Station is a concrete manifestation of the deepening cooperation and friendly development between China

and Nepal, and it is also an important witness to the joint promotion of the “Belt and Road” initiative between the two countries. Its full

production has not only greatly alleviated the power shortage problem in Nepal and played an important role in the pillar industries, but also

laid a solid foundation for POWERCHINA to deepen the Nepalese market and established a good reputation for POWERCHINA to expand
