GE: wins contract in Nepal
(CercleFinance.com) - GE Renewable Energy's Grid Solutions division today announced that it has been awarded a multi-million dollar contract to upgrade three metal-clad substations (GIS) located in Khimti, Barhabise and Lapsiphedi, in Nepal.
The stations will provide uninterrupted water power to hundreds of thousands of households outside Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, that are not connected to the grid.
The three stations will be upgraded from 220 kiloVolt (kV) to 400 kiloVolt (kV), thereby enabling the country to trade surplus electricity with neighbouring countries.
The project is led by the Nepal Electricity Authority, with funding from the Asian Development Bank and the Nepalese government.
