Summary
Tingla 132/33 kV Substation is a commissioned 30 MVA Solu Corridor node that connects Solu basin generation into the 132 kV system.
A 132/33 kV, 30 MVA substation commissioned as part of the Solu corridor build. In the annual-book snapshot, Tingla is the bridge intended to connect Solu basin IPP output into the larger 132 kV system once the Mirchaiya–Tingla line is complete.

Why It Matters
- Tingla is a concrete example of the smaller corridor substations that had to exist before generation in eastern hill basins could actually reach the grid.
- It belongs in the same “transmission before value” story as Transmission and Delivery Are Material Immediate Monetization Constraints and the later Nepal Transmission System — 400 kV Landscape & Cross-Border Plan (2025) synthesis.
Limitations & Controversies
The page confirms the annual-book commissioning record and basic rating, but it does not establish current transformer loading, bay configuration, outage history, or subsequent upgrades after the 2020 source snapshot.
