The Darkhola second micro-hydro power project based in Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality-2, Lulang has come into operation after maintenance. The hydro project was closed due to the flood.
The project with 43-KW capacity was shut when the flood swept away the powerhouse and canal. Lulang is geographically remote and has no access to electricity linked to the central transmission lines and road transport.
Chairperson of Users' Committee Gyan Bahadur Paika shared that the project was repaired at the cost of Rs 2.2 million with the assistance of the Gandaki Province government and Dhaulagiri Rural Municipality.
"Test production was done successfully on Sunday following maintenance", he shared, adding power supply would be regular within a couple of days.
