Kaligandaki A Hydroelectric Power Station is situated near Mirmi of Syangja District about 300 km to the west of Kathmandu and 100 km from Pokhara in the same direction in Nepal. The hydropower project is also the biggest hydropower project of Nepal. The dam and headworks are situated on the Gandaki River at the confluence of the Andhikhola whereas the power house is located downstream, around a bend in the river, in Beltari. A 5.9 km (3.7 mi) long headrace tunnel connects the reservoir to the power station which contains three 48 MW Francis turbine-generators. Owner and operator of the power plant is Nepal Electricity Authority.
There are almost 200 large dams in Myanmar. Myanmar (Burma) has a large hydroelectric power potential of 39,000 megawatts (52,000,000 hp), although the economical exploitable potential is about 37,000 megawatts (50,000,000 hp). Between 1990 and 2002, the country tripled its installed capacity of hydro plants, increasing from 253 megawatts (339,000 hp) to 745 megawatts (999,000 hp). Total installed capacity in 2010 is at least 2,449 megawatts (3,284,000 hp) MW, 6% of potential. Several large dams are planned to increase future hydro utilization.
Bugoye Power Station is a 13 MW (17,000 hp) mini hydroelectric power station in Uganda. In the literature, Bugoye Power Station is sometimes referred to as Mubuku II Power Station.
Chilime Hydropower Plant is a run-of-the-river type plant situated in Chilime of Rasuwa district in Nepal, which is 133 km north of Kathmandu. Its headworks are located near Chilime, whereas the underground power plant is located about 4.5 km (2.8 mi) to the southwest in Syafrubesi on the banks of the local Bhotekoshi river. Water from a weir is diverted into a reservoir before it can be used at the power plant. The difference in elevation between the reservoir and power station affords a gross hydraulic head of 351.5 m (1,153 ft). The plant has an installed capacity of 22.1 MW. The generated electricity is fed into the national grid via a 38 km 66 kV single circuit transmission line. Most of the power house facilities are underground, with the switchyard the only feature that remains on the surface. The plant employs two horizontal axis Pelton turbines each of 11.28 MW.
