Summary
The Chilime Hydropower Company Limited (CHCL) annual report for fiscal year 2078/79 provides the verified primary-source data for Chilime's dual-tier PPA billing architecture and generation performance. Chilime is an NEA subsidiary (NEA retains 51% controlling stake), and its PPA (signed June 25, 1997) uses a categorically different billing architecture from modern IPPs.

Limitations
- Date gap: FY 2078/79 corresponds to 2021/22; more recent annual reports may show different generation or tariff treatment.
- Subsidiary scope: CHCL is an NEA subsidiary with a 1997 PPA; its billing architecture is not representative of post-2010 private IPP contracts.
- Single-plant view: Does not cover other NEA subsidiaries (e.g., Rasuwagadhi) or the broader IPP tariff matrix.
- No audited financial statements: Revenue and volume figures are as reported by CHCL, not independently audited in this document.
