Nepal, Kathmandu: The Millenium Challenge Account-Nepal (MCA-Nepal) has signed a contract for the construction of a new substation in Nawalparasi. MCA-Nepal is responsible for implementing the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) projects in the country. The contract for the construction of the 400 kV New Butwal Substation in Nawalparasi was awarded to Linxon India Pvt Ltd.
The project is expected to be completed in 39 months. It is expected to supplement an existing 220 kV substation to significantly increase cross-border energy trade in the region, and it has been a priority for the NEA.
Together with this substation, two others are being built in Nuwakot and Tanahun under the Electricity Transmission Project jointly funded by the MCC and the country’s government. The MCA-Nepal board, chaired by the secretary at the Ministry of Finance, has decided to advance the 18 km Nepal portion of the New Butwal-Gorakhpur power transmission line to facilitate cross-border power trade with India.
