Tunnel Construction of 140MW Tanahun Hydropower Project in Nepal Completed

 


Tunnel construction of 140MW Tanahun Hydropower Project in Nepal has been completed.The hydropower project is being built in Jhaputar of Rishing Rural Municipality, Tanahun. 

According to project Chief Achyutbabu Ghimire, construction of 2.5-km access road from Byas Municipality, Chapaghat, to the project site has already been completed.

"We are very glad to have completed this challenging task of tunnel road construction. Completion of these roads have now made it easier for us to start dam construction," said Ghimire.Further, Ghimire said they were able to complete a significant portion of the project as they continued the work even during the COVID crisis.Earlier, the project had suffered some early hiccups due to delay in selecting the contractor and then scrapping the existing contractor and selecting a new one.

The project chief said they had adopted all safety health measures to make sure that no worker got infected. Some 45 staffers of the project and the consultant firm and 565 workers are at work at present.The hydel project is being constructed by Sino Hydro, a Chinese company, while a Nepali company Kalika Somda JV has been entrusted with dam construction. The project is stipulated to be completed within 57 months. Its cost is estimated to be over Rs 16 billion.

Baihetan Hydropower Station set to help with China’s carbon goal

  The Baihetan Hydropower Station has officially started storing water as the gate of number two diversion bottom hole closed on April 6, meaning the world's largest hydropower project under construction has taken a critical step toward the goal for the first batch of hydropower units to start generating electricity on July 1.  With the closing of the gate, the reservoir water level began to rise from 655 meters, according to a statement from Sinohydro Engineering Bureau 8 Co, adding that the reservoir water level will be stored to 775 meters in mid-June to meet the conditions for the first batch of hydropower-generating units to start operation. From August to September, the reservoir water will be stored to 800 meters, and then gradually stored to the normal storage level of 825 meters in June 2022. The total storage capacity of Baihetan Reservoir will be 20.627 billion cubic meters, which accounts for 91 percent of the Jinsha River Basin. The flood control reservoir is an i...

Global hydropower market ‘to see compound growth rate of 2.4% until 2030’

                                              https://www.boland-hydroturbine.com/ The global hydropower market is likely to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 2.4% until 2030. That’s according to data and analytics company GlobalData, which expects the sector will reach more than 165GW of installed capacity by this time, up from 124GW at the end of 2018. More than 18% of global electricity generation capacity currently comes from hydropower plants, with China, the US, Brazil, Canada, Russia, India, Japan, Norway, Turkey and France representing almost 70% of this proportion at the end of 2018. Ankit Mathur, Practice Head of Power at GlobalData, said: “China, which is rich in hydro resources, will continue to preserve its monopoly as the leading country until 2030, with more than 22 projects of gigawatt size under construction, slated to...

How we can save hydropower

                                        marketing@boland-hydroturbine.com Hydropower is the world’s third largest source of electricity and provides around 70% of the world’s renewable energy. However, dams – the traditional way we’ve harvested energy from water – are not as sustainable as you might think, disrupting the ecosystems within and around rivers, reducing biodiversity, and messing with water quality. Now, researchers are trying to find a way to make hydropower more environmentally friendly. “It’s only recently that people have started to realize that these dams fill up with sediment, that they are structurally unsound, some of them, and that something needs to be done with them,” says Carlos Garcia de Leaniz of Swansea University in Wales. But the world needs energy, and compared to other forms of renewable energy, hydropower is both flexib...
