Super Chuwa Khola Hydropower Project (80MW)
Introduction:
Super Chuwa Khola Hydropower Project (SCKHEP) is a peaking
run-of-river (PRoR) type hydro project. Chuwa Khola, tributary of Karnali
River, flows in the Humla District of Karnali Province has a huge potential for
hydropower development due to its terrain and hydrology. Super Chuwa Khola
Hydropower Project lies in Humla District in Karnali Province of Nepal. The
capacity of the project is 80 megawatt (MW).
The project area can be accessed through Simikot, the
headquarter of Humla District, which is to be accessed from Kathmandu by about
1-hour flight to Nepalgunj followed by another 50-minute fight to Simikot or
601 km drive to Surkhet followed by half hour flight to Simikot. From then, a
motorable road is connected upto confluence of Chuwa Khola. Then, a trail road
is continued up to the proposed both headwork’s area.
Alternatively, the Project Site can be reached in almost 5 days from Kathmandu. Which is accessed by approx. 752 km long black-topped road from Kathmandu via Prithivi Highway, East-West Highway, Ratna Highway, and Karnali Highway) up to Manma Bazaar of Kalikot. From there (Manma Bazaar) Weathered Road leads till Sarisalla Village which is approximately 150 km fair weather earthen road and also the nearest road head from the project area.
