Comler Power Joins Hands with Sinohydro Bureau 7 to Support Power Supply for Nasuwakari Hydropower Project in Nepal

Recently, Shandong Comler Power Group Co., Ltd. and Sinohydro Bureau 7 Co., Ltd. have reached an important cooperation, successfully supplying 121kW diesel generator sets for the Nasuwakari Hydropower Project in Nepal. With high-quality power equipment, it guarantees the power demand for construction, operation and maintenance of key overseas hydropower projects, demonstrating the collaborative strength of China's power equipment manufacturing and infrastructure construction.

I. Project Overview: A Key Hydropower Project in Nepal & A Model of China-Nepal Energy Cooperation

Located on the Trisuli River in northern Nepal, adjacent to the Jilong Port in Xizang, China, and about 146 kilometers from the capital Kathmandu, the Nasuwakari Hydropower Station is the third-largest under-construction hydropower project in Nepal and a benchmark project of China-Nepal energy cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. Adopting a run-of-river power generation design, the project has a total installed capacity of 111MW, equipped with three 37MW Francis turbine units. The main works include the head pivot, a 4.2km diversion tunnel, an underground powerhouse, a desilting basin and other facilities, with a total contract value of approximately 98 million US dollars.

Undertaken by Sinohydro Bureau 7 as the EPC general contractor, the project officially started in December 2015. During construction, it overcame multiple challenges such as complex geology and cross-border construction, achieving river closure for flood control in 2019 and successful diversion and closure in 2020. Currently, it has entered the critical stage of electromechanical installation and commissioning. Upon completion, the power station will generate over 400 million kWh of electricity annually, directly alleviating Nepal's power shortage and providing stable clean energy for local industries and people's livelihoods.

II. Cooperation Significance: Empowering Infrastructure with Equipment to Build Overseas Energy Security

The 121kW diesel generator sets supplied by Comler Power this time are core power guarantee equipment for construction, emergency backup, commissioning and operation of the Nasuwakari Hydropower Station. Adopting internationally advanced engines and Comler's independent intelligent control system, the units feature rapid start-up, stable operation, low noise, environmental protection and remote monitoring. They can adapt to Nepal's plateau, rainy and complex geological environment, providing uninterrupted power support for project construction, electromechanical commissioning and temporary power supply.

This cooperation represents in-depth collaboration between China's power equipment manufacturers and large-scale infrastructure central enterprises:

• For the project: High-quality domestic generator sets ensure power supply throughout the project cycle, facilitating efficient progress and on-time commissioning, and building a solid "power lifeline" for overseas projects;

• For Chinese enterprises: Sinohydro Bureau 7 undertakes large-scale overseas hydropower projects with top engineering capabilities, while Comler Power provides supporting services with high-end equipment. Together, they demonstrate the whole-chain service capability of "Engineering + Equipment" of Chinese enterprises, enhancing the international recognition of Chinese standards, technologies and equipment;

• For China-Nepal cooperation: As a key project of cross-border energy cooperation between China and Nepal, upon completion, the project will optimize Nepal's energy structure, create thousands of jobs, drive regional economic development, and deepen China-Nepal good-neighborly friendship and practical cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative.
