Power has been restored to the Battar and Trishuli Bazaar areas in Nepal's Nuwakot district, following significant disruptions caused by a devastating flood. The Bhotekoshi River overflowed, leading to the suspension of electricity services in these key commercial and residential hubs.
The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) worked to bring power back online by establishing an alternative supply route. The authority utilized 11 kV lines, charging the Balaju-Trishuli and Chapali-Devighat 66 kV transmission lines to re-establish the connection. This technical solution allowed electricity to flow back into the affected markets and homes.
The restoration of power is a welcome development for the residents and businesses in Nuwakot, who had been grappling with the inconvenience and economic impact of the outage. The swift action by the NEA highlights their commitment to maintaining essential services even in the face of natural disasters.
