The flow from Hewa River, a tributary of Tamor River, is used to generate 21.6 MW electricity. The plant is owned and developed by Mountain Hydro Nepal (P) Ltd, an IPP of Nepal. The plant started generating electricity from August 6, 2019. The generation licence will expire in July 23, 2048, after which the plant will be handed over to the government. The power station is connected to the national grid and the electricity is sold to Nepal Electricity Authority. This power plant may get inundated if Tamor Hydropower Project will be constructed in its downstream.
