Kathmandu, Nov 7: The Chilime-Trishuli 220 kV transmission line has officially begun operating as of today.
The 28-kilometer transmission line stretches from the Chilime Substation in Thambuchet, Amachodingmo Rural Municipality of Rasuwa to the Trishuli Substation in Pahrebensi, Kispang Rural Municipality of Nuwakot.

Funding for the Chilime-Trishuli project came from the Government of Nepal, a grant from the German Development Bank (KFW), and a concessional loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB).
A total of 76 towers were erected for the 28 km transmission line, spanning elevations from 680 to 2600 meters above sea level. #nepal #NEA
