Electrifying the Tarai

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) wants a high-capacity transmission line corridor in Bara, Parsa, Rautahat, Mahottari, Dhanusha and other districts of Madhes Province to increase their power consumption by 4,000MW. Four circuit transmission lines and substations of 400kV will be constructed parallel to the Postal Highway along the southern border with India in the coming decades. Under the Bara-Parsa Industrial Corridor, transmission network infrastructure will be built to consume about 3,200MW of electricity in Birganj and 800MW in Janakpur.
