A massive flash flood originating from the Tibet region has severely damaged several major hydropower infrastructure projects in the Rasuwa district, severing nearly 200 MW of power from the national grid.

According to preliminary reports, the impacted facilities include:

  • Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Project (111 MW): Sustained major physical structural damage.
  • Trishuli 3B Hydropower Project (60 MW): Operation impacted; the key Trishuli 3B Hub Substation was completely swept away by floodwaters.
  • Chilime Hydropower Project (22 MW): Suffered infrastructure damage, halting power generation.
Authorities suspect that additional power plants and local infrastructure in the river corridor may have also been hit. A full assessment of the financial and structural loss is currently underway as officials work to stabilize the area.
