Why Nepal ?

Nepal has the resources to generate a considerable amount of energy through hydropower. Blessed with the natural resources and terrain ideal for hydropower, Nepal has the opportunity to not only create enough energy to sustain its needs, but also generate a surplus that can be sold to neighbouring countries.

Likhu River Projects

Mogha Energy holds the licences for three hydropower stations going up the Likhu River, which borders the Solukhumnhu district to the west and Ramechhap district to the east. The project location is approximately 8 hours drive east from Kathmandu. The nearest town is Bamti Bhandar. These projects are currently at different stages of development.

Likhu A

Completed in 2022. Likhu A is the furthest downstream of the three projects. Likhu A is a run-of-river scheme that diverts 24.1 m3 of water through a 44.4 m long diversion weir and further through a 2.97 km underground water conductor system to the powerhouse. Here, utilizing a net head of approximately 138.55 meters, we are able to generate up to 33.66 MW (with overloading).

Likhu 1

Completion estimated by end of 2023. Likhu 1 is a run-of-river scheme that diverts 17.5 m 3 of water through a 5.75 m high diversion weir and further through a 8.24 km underground water conductor system to the powerhouse. Here, utilizing a net head of approximately 516.05 meters, we are able to generate upto 77 MW.

Likhu 2

Completed April 2023.Likhu 2 is a run-of-river scheme that diverts 26.4 m3 of water through a 5.25 m high diversion weir and further through a 6.57 km underground water conductor system to the powerhouse. Here, utilizing a net head of approximately 229.53 meters, we are able to generate up to 60.5 MW (with overloading).
