Bhotekoshi floods push Kulekhani into continuous power generation

National power generation has lost over 400 megawatts following the August 26 floods.

The catastrophic Bhotekoshi floods on August 26 damaged more than a dozen hydroelectric projects, compelling the Nepal Electricity Authority to run the country’s primary backup power station, the reservoir-based Kulekhani, round-the-clock during the peak rainy season.
