Summary

NEA Engineering Company Limited's FY 2081/82 annual report covers its financial position and engineering assignments. Its damaged-assessment and restoration section records the company's work at the 111 MW Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Plant and the Trishuli 3B Hub following the 8 July 2025 flood.

Key Findings

  • The report states that the 111 MW Rasuwagadhi plant entered commercial operation in January 2025.
  • It describes severe flood damage on 8 July 2025 to civil structures, hydromechanical equipment and electromechanical systems, followed by suspension of generation.
  • Rasuwagadhi Hydropower Company Limited contracted NEA Engineering on 10 August 2025 for rapid damage assessment, generation restoration and long-term rehabilitation planning.
  • The report records one unit returning to partial generation on 6 December 2025 and two-unit generation under available dry-season discharge from 25 December 2025.
  • For the Trishuli 3B Hub, the report describes damage to temporary and gantry towers and protective structures, major scour on the right bank, sediment deposition on the left bank and an estimated channel shift of about 80 m toward the substation.

Relevance

This is the direct institutional source for the commissioning, flood-damage and partial-restoration timeline on Rasuwagadhi. Together with the government situation report, it supports the infrastructure consequences described in the 2025 example on GLOF Risk.

Limitations

  • The annual report is NEA Engineering's account of its own assignments, not an independent forensic investigation.
  • It labels the 8 July event a GLOF but does not reproduce the full glaciological evidence used to determine the initiating mechanism.
  • The report does not establish final rehabilitation completion, full three-unit availability, a final damage cost or the plant's status after its reporting cutoff.
  • The source_date records the report's January 2026 publication month; the document does not state a more precise public release date.
