The eastern 132 kV evacuation chain that the annual book describes in three stages: Damak–Godak, Godak–Phidim, and onward Phidim–Amarpur (Kabeli). It is the practical corridor through which the Mai/Kabeli-side hill projects were being tied back into the national system.
Summary
The Damak-Godak-Phidim 132 kV corridor is an eastern Nepal evacuation chain documented in the NEA 2077 annual book. The page tracks the Damak-Godak, Godak-Phidim, and Phidim-Amarpur/Kabeli sections as a corridor-scale grid asset for Mai/Kabeli-side projects.
Key Facts
| Segment | Length / note |
|---|---|
| Damak–Godak | ~35 km |
| Godak–Phidim | ~43 km |
| Phidim–Amarpur (Kabeli) | ~13.33 km |
Why It Matters
- This is the corridor-scale version of the eastern medium-hill evacuation problem: relatively modest IPP clusters still needed a sequence of new substations and 132 kV links before their output could move.
- It is directly relevant to project pages such as Kabeli-A, Kabeli B - 1, and the broader Transmission and Delivery Are Material Immediate Monetization Constraints argument.
Limitations & Controversies
The page relies on the annual-book corridor description and does not provide a full route-grade GIS alignment, tower list, updated asset condition, or post-commissioning loading record. Segment lengths should be read as source-reported corridor context rather than independently surveyed geometry.
