Upper Ingwa Khola hydropower project (9.7 MW)
Upper Ingwa Hydroelectric Project is a runoff the river type hydropower project situated at Ankhop VDC of Taplejung District of Province No. 1. The installed capacity of the project is 9.7 MW and contract energy is 65.73 GWh. of which 24.9 Wh. (37.88%) is the dry energy and  40.83 GWh. (62.12%) is the wet energy. The objective of this project is to generate electricity power and sell the energy to the national grid under a power purchase agreement signed between Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) and the company. NEA is the sole government authority to purchase the power from this project. The power generated from this project shall be evacuated to the National Grid via Amarpur Substation under Mechi Corridor. This project will help to reduce load shedding in the Eastern Province-1 of Nepal. This is a Nepali currency denominated PPA project.
The Upper Ingwa Khola Hydroelectric Project is located on the Ingwa Khola, a tributary of the Kabeli river, in Taplejung district of Province 1 of Nepal. The project area lies just downstream of the confluence of the Phalame  Khola and Ingwa Khola within the geographical coordinates of latitude : 27 16' 46" to 27 17' 20"  North and longitude : 87 52' 44" to 87 55' 20" East. The intake and powerhouse sites lie in the Ankhop VDC at altitudes of 1085m. amsl and 885 m. amsl respectively.  The proposed dam site lies at latitude 2716' 03" N  and longitude 87 55' 02"E, Elevation 1084.50 m. The proposed powerhouse site lies at latitude 27 16' 02" N and longitude 87 51' 27"E, Elevation 888.70 m and located at about 3.04 km downstream of the dam site.
