f ' | CHAMELIYA HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT INTRODUCTION Chameliya HydroEleciric Project (CHEP) site lies in the for-west of Nepal about 950 km west of Kothmandu in remate Saile-Shikhar Municipality, Bolanch, Dorchulo Dithict. Chomeliya is one of the major tributaries ‘of Mahokali River. This Project is @ sichour peaking run of river (PROR) ‘ype hydro-electric plant with an insfalled capacity of 30 MW and with overage annual energy generation of 184.21 GWh. This project was implemented to cope with growing power and energy demand and for the regional economic balance in the farwestem development region by the construction of a hydroelectric power plont. Consiruction of ivil work of Project was storied on January, 2007, with appointment of Civil Contractor, M/S China Gethiouba Group Co. Lid (CGGOQ), Ching, Similarly in April 30, 2009 M/s KHNP CONSORTIUM, Korea was ‘appointed as the Coniractor of Electro-Mechanical/ Hydro-Mechanical and 132 KV Transmission Line (EM/ HM/T). The construction supervision ond construction Tonagement sublet to SHAH/SILI/ICON JV, and for EM/ HM/IL work is Soman Corporation, Korea. As per the Joint Co-Ordinafed Working Schedule the completion date {including Testing and Commissioning) is December 2017, FINANCIAL SOURCES The soft loan of 45 million USD between the GoN ‘ond the Export-Import Bank of Korea {entrusted by the Government of the Republic of Korea) wos agreed on 23 October 2008 for consulting, supply, delivery and Commissioning of EM/HM/TL works. Remaining amount of 7.55 million USD for installation to be provided by the GoN and NEA. Similarly, NRs. 2.88 billion were estimated for the Civil Works. Apart, from the main works the funds from the GoN ond NEA hove been uilized for the administrative expenses, environment management, cond lond acquisition and compensation expenses. Till date the project has already acquired 862-0-3-0 ropanis of land CIVIL WORKS Civil works of the project comprises of 54 mhigh concrete) gravity dam with gated spillway and stilling basin, Take, two conneting tunnels ond desander basin, 067 kim long headrace tunnel with three construction qudit tunnels, surge tank, vertical shai and horizonial oe ne Ue oe eg priistock surfezs powerhouse ond tailrace.

The project has been delayed because of following reasons. : j 6. Blockage of access road during monsoon of yeor 2007-2009 1, Poor geological condition in headroce tunnel which caused the squeezing of the the tunnel in section of Adit No. 2 Downstream and Adit No.3 Upstream. 7. Far western Region Banda on May 2012 2. Shifting of powerhouse towards hill side resulting in 8. Poor security at construction site falling of the hill slope . With no any unforeseen circumstance, the civil works is 3 Conerete lining in the headrace tunnel of the expected to be completed within September 30, 2017 squeezed orea and the whole project works including wet testing and commissioning is expected to be completed on December 20, 2017.
