The substation was built under the social development programme of the Tahanu Hydropower Project 140 megawatt built by Tanahu Hydropower Limited, a subsidiary of the Nepal Electricity Authority.

Electricity will be supplied to these places onwards from the newly built substation at Ghiring, An electric transformer of 6/8 MVA capacity has been installed at the Ghiring substation and three feeder lines of 11 KV each have been taken out from the substation for power supply at the local level. One feeder line of 11 KV has been kept in reserve, it was told.

All areas in Bhimad Municipality and Ghiring rural municipality, and parts of Rishing rural municipality and Nawalparashi (east of Bardaghat Susta ) will get electricity from the new substation.
