Karnali-chisapani 10800MW

Endangered project due to Endangered river dolphins

In 1996 USA's oil and Gas giant got licence to study this project and build it if viable.
They were interested to invest 8 billion dollars at that time and they planned to sell excess power to China And India .
But due to extreme pressure from conservation groups from around the world they pulled out of the project in 1998.
Since this project would have been dangerous for already endangered river dolphins which are only found in Karnali river in Nepal.

West seti hydro project

It has capacity of 750 MW production.And at a cost of 1.4 billion dollars.

It was given to Australian multinational company in 2007 but since it failed to start to built the dam due to massive pressure from WAFED(natural resource preservers group) it couldn't create a dam and  finally licence was cancelled by Nepal government.
Not only natural resource but also according to this project 90% Mega watts was meant to be given to India Which was also hard to digest for opposition parties of Nepal.

But again now China's Three gorgeous corporation has shown its interest in building dam but again if New way of building a dam with minimum destruction of natural resources is not identified then start seems difficult for any company to do work.And only few percentage of Project should be sold to Neighbors.Then it might go smoothly.
