The upper scheme is basically a run-of-river type with daily peaking facility of 1 hour 10 minutes and generates annual energy of 82.44 GWh with the available gross head of 161.3m. The design discharge of the project at exceedance Q40 is 11.07 m3/s. The lower scheme is the cascade development of upper scheme and thus water from the tailrace of upper scheme is directly utilized by the lower scheme and generates annual energy of 241.865 GWh with the available gross head of 442 m. Additionally, 0.50 m3/s discharge from Chhupchung Khola will be added to the intake/forebay of the lower scheme and therefore, the design discharge of lower scheme is 11.57 m3/s.
