INTRODUCTION:
• MMHPS project was completed on 14 December 2008 and
generation started one month later
• MMHPS has been generating electricity by diverting water of
Marsyangdi river.
• It is located near Besisahar in the lamjung district about 170km
west of kathmandu.
• The damsite is 35km and the powerhouse site is 27km from dumre
to the north.
• It is a daily pondage run off river hydropower with daily peaking
capacity of 5hrs at minimum discharge.
• MMHPS has an installed capacity of 70MW and designed annually
generation of 398GWHr.
