Every major hydropower plant in Nepal

The country that powers itself from rivers, traced project by project. Capacity, river, developer and stage for 183 plants and projects — from Upper Tamakoshi, the largest in operation, to the giant reservoir and export schemes still on the drawing board. Mapped on OpenStreetMap and traced to NEA, the Department of Electricity Development, Investment Board Nepal and the developers themselves.

Figures cover the major plants catalogued here (roughly ≥10 MW operating, ≥20 MW building, ≥50 MW proposed). Nepal also has hundreds of smaller run-of-river plants feeding the grid. Map points for many projects are approximate dam-area locations, clearly flagged on each plant's page.
