Kathmandu; Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has stepped up to construct related infrastructure in Tarakeshwor Municipality area, aiming to maintain smooth electricity supply in the Kathmandu Valley.

Issuing a public notice on Wednesday, the NEA said it will be acquiring land plots in the areas that are necessary for the construction of the infrastructure. According to the NEA, it will construct transmission lines and substations with capacity of 220/132/66/11 kV in Jitpurfedi and Goldhunga of ward number 3 and 5 of Tarakeshwor Municipality. The public utility has sought applications from the property owners concerned to claim their compensation amount.

According to the NEA, to be constructed infrastructure will be sufficient to maintain smooth electricity supply to the valley for the next 30 years. The NEA and the government are jointly injecting the necessary investment for this purpose. The land owned by 54 individuals in Jitpurphedi and seven individuals in Goldhunga have been considered for acquisitions.

Although electricity production has increased by a notable amount in recent days, consumers have been largely affected by the disruption of electricity supply. The NEA has been blaming the old transmission lines and substations for the substandard power supply.  

The state-owned electricity monopoly had faced years of hassles from the local people when it started materializing its plan to construct a 400 kV substation in Lapsiphedi area of Shankarapur Municipality-3. After two years’ of dilly dallying, the NEA reached an agreement with the agitating locals of the area just 10 days ago.
