Power Plant Extension SCECO (PPE SCECO), Nepal – Single Phase
The Power Plant Extension of SCECO will improve daily living condition and enhance economic opportunities by providing uninterrupted hydro-power supply to 1’400 customers, and get up to 500 new connections to the local power grid, in the area of Salleri/Garma/Phalpu (HDI 0.45-0.50). Additionally, it will mitigate uncontrolled deforestation by reducing the use of firewood for cooking, heating and lighting purposes, in an area (lying between 2400 – 3000m alt.) where forest regeneration is slow. The project will thus enhance the sustainable use of local water resources while contributing to the maintenance of resilience to climate change at the local level.
