Purbi Chitwan 132 kV Substation

Summary

Purbi Chitwan 132 kV Substation is a proposed 132/33 kV, 2x30 MVA local-grid reinforcement for the eastern Chitwan load pocket.

A proposed eastern Chitwan 132/33 kV substation intended to strengthen supply for the Chitwan load pocket and reduce the dependence on the Bharatpur-side single-circuit connection described in the FY 2019/20 annual book.

Why It Matters

• It shows how local reliability needs were pushing new 132/33 kV nodes even outside the headline cross-border corridors.
• It belongs in the same transmission-hardening frame as Hetauda–Bharatpur–Bardaghat 220 kV Corridor and the wider Nepal Transmission System — 400 kV Landscape & Cross-Border Plan (2025).

Limitations & Controversies

The page relies on NEA annual-book project framing and does not confirm current construction progress, commissioning, final bay configuration, or measured reliability improvements in the Chitwan load area.
