A planned 400 kV evacuation corridor for the western Bheri system, centred in the annual book on Uttarganga Storage Hydropower Project and the wider Sani Bheri IPP pipeline. In 2020 it was still a land, survey, and substation preparation story rather than a built line.
Summary
The Bheri Corridor 400 kV line is a planned western evacuation corridor for Uttarganga and the wider Sani Bheri project pipeline. The current page is grounded in the NEA 2077 annual-book description of a survey/development-stage corridor and associated Uttarganga substation hub.
Key Facts
| Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
| Voltage | 400 kV |
| Status in 2020 book | Under development / survey-stage |
| Core route | Bafikot (Rukum West) to Nalsingadh (Jajarkot) |
| Associated substation | Uttarganga hub, 400/132 kV, 200 MVA |
| Strategic role | Evacuation path for Uttarganga and Sani Bheri generation |
Why It Matters
- This is the transmission expression of the western buildability problem: large projects such as Uttarganga Storage Hydropower Project do not have value without a corresponding evacuation corridor.
- The corridor sits squarely inside the wiki's Transmission and Delivery Are Material Immediate Monetization Constraints logic and is one more example of generation ambition outrunning grid readiness.
Limitations & Controversies
The current evidence is from the 2020 annual-book description and should be read as development-stage corridor context, not proof of a built 400 kV line. Route details, land status, construction progress, updated cost, and commissioning timing require newer project-level verification before operational use.
