10 megawatt solar power added to nat'l grid

Country's largest solar plant being constructed in Nuwakot district has generated 10 more megawatt of power. The project with capacity of 25-megawatt plant had produced 1.25 megawatt power some eight months ago.

Chief of Project Bikash Raghubansi said that 8.75 megawatt of solar power was generated recently and was linked it to the national power grid after the successful test transmission. Of the seven blocks of the project, power is now generated from two of the solar panels and is connected to the national transmission line through the national grid of Devighat Hydropower Centre.
