Bagmati Nadi Hydropower Station (Nepali: बागमती नदी जलविद्युत आयोजना) is a run-of-river hydro-electric plant located in Makawanpur District of Nepal. The flow from Bagmati River is used to generate 22 MW electricity.
The plant is owned and developed by Mandu Hydropower Pvt. Ltd., an IPP of Nepal. The construction work started in 2016.[1] The finishing was delayed by about 6 months owing to delay in penstock instalment.[2] The plant started generating electricity from 2075-12-19BS. The generation licence will expire in 2106-03-18 BS, after which the plant will be handed over to the government.[3] The power station is connected to the national grid and the electricity is sold to Nepal Electricity Authority.[4]
