Gandak Hydro Power Station is a hydro-electric plant located in Pratappur, Nawalparasi district of Nepal.[3] The flow from Narayani River is used to generate 15 MW electricity and annual energy is 106.38 GWh.[4] The plant is a part of irrigation facility in the Gandak River constructed as a part of India-Nepal Gandak River Agreement.[1] A barrage in the Narayani river diverts the flow to India and Nepal for irrigation viz. the eastern canal (24.1 m3/s) and western canal (8.5 m3/s). This power station is located on the western canal approximately 18 km downstream of barrage at Surajpura, Nepal.[2]
