This format is intended for use in conducting detailed feasibility studies for proposed micro-hydro plants. A preliminaryfeasibility study should have already been completed at this stage. The survey team should take a copy of the filledpreliminary feasibility study format so that comparisons can be made at site and any differences be recorded.

If there are water diversions (e.g., irrigation) close to the intake. i.e.

within 2 hours walking distance, the flow diverted at these locations

should also be measured and used to determine the 11-month

5. Multipurpose Projects

Can multiple uses of water resources be promoted in this project?YesNo

If yes, besides power generation, other uses are:

Refer to the MGSP Flow Verification Guide-lines for the methodology regarding the useof MIP method to estimate the monthly

flows. Note that if flows are abstracted up-stream of the intake, these should also bemeasured and included to determine the 11months exceedance flow calculations basedon MIP method.

Similarly, when calculating the 11-monthavailable flow for power generation, the up-stream abstraction and the downstreamdemands should be deducted.

Any water right conflict that could arise fromthe implementation of the scheme shouldbe mentioned here.

If other conflicts are foreseen, these should

If multiple use of water is possible (i.e., mul-tipurpose projects, the details should be pro-

vided here. Note that given the site condi-tions to the extent possible multipurpose pro-jects should be proposed so that the waterresources can be optimally used. Further-more, the current AEPC policy is favourableto multipurpose projects as the cost ceilingsfor subsidy are not applicable for such

Draw a general sketch (plan) of the scheme from the intake to the tailrace

(i.e., birds eye view) in the box below;

Estimate the maximum power available (P

max) from the 11-month available flow. Thevalue for the overall efficiency of the system

should be based on the efficiencies of the

individual component (e.g., penstock, tur-bine, generator & transformer).

A general plan from the intake to the pow-erhouse and tailrace should be drawn at

site for comparison with the survey draw-ings, which would be prepared later. Al-though, this drawing need not be in scale,the waterway lengths and locations of thestructures should be mentioned.

Comment: .....

.

Peak load (Mp) on the system should generallybe equal to the total probable domestic load (G)calculated earlier. In the exceptional case if thepeak load is different such as due high enduses these should be explained and the finan-cial viability justified in the report as discussedearlier.

Design plant capacity should be calculated byadding 25% to the peak load. This allows for10% transmission/distribution losses and 15%for future requirements such as increasedhousehold power demands and additional con-nections.

Compare Md with the available maximum

power, Pmax, on Section 4. If Mdis greater thanPmax the system needs to be re-designed bydecreasing the number of households to beelectrified and/or the average household sub-scribed power. Another possibility is to deductthe 15% power allocated for future expansion.

Note the end point of the NEA grid nearest tothe site and the direct distance (not the walkingdistance) to this point from the site. Alsocomment on any known proposals to extend thegrid in a direction, which brings it closer to thesite for the next 5 years, how close, this willbring it to the scheme site, and the source ofthe information. Comment, if necessary on thereliability of this information.

Based on discussions with the communitymembers, developer and the entrepreneurs,the end uses should be fixed. Then the powerrequirements of these end uses as well as theoperating time should be estimated. Themaximum power required for business loadshould be calculated by adding the individualbusiness loads only if the operating hourscoincide. Thus the combinations of variousloads may have to be calculated to determinethe maximum business load. Depending onwhether the proposed business is mechani-cally or electrically operated, the tables aboveshould be filled in accordingly.

Note that the business loads should generallyoperate during the non-lighting hours and themaximum business load should be limited tothe probable business load. Financial viabilityshould be demonstrated if the business loadsexceed the peak domestic load.

If there are possibilities for additional enduses that could be developed after 3 year,

these should be included in the table above.

12.1 Agro-processing Mills in Area

If milling is to be provided as part of the MHPscheme, tick the Yes box and complete thissection.

List all mills, whether diesel or water powered,within a 5 km radius or 2 hour walk of thepower house. Note the distance from theMHP power house to the mill in approximateminutes of walking time for an average localperson carrying a load of grain, eg. 30 mins.

Consideration must be given to the effect ofother mills nearby and the likelihood that exist-ing mills will continue to be patronised unlessthe proposed MHP is more convenient or of-fers cheaper milling rates.

Fill in the average tariff for household lightingbased on discussions with the developer,community members and the prevailing tariffrates of nearby MH plantsSimilarly, fill in the table above to estimate the

income for end uses. An extra column is pro-vided in case different tariff rates are appliedfor different types of end uses.

List other micro-hydro plants and mills withina 5 km radius or 2-hours walk from the pow-erhouse, whether diesel or water powered.Note the distance from the MHP power-house to the mill in approximate minutes ofwalking time for an average local person car-rying a load of grain. This information maybe available from secondary sources suchas the Micro hydro data of Nepal in whichcase they should be verified during the sitevisit.

Note the monthly tariff charged for electricityat each MHP, which provides electricity. Ifthe tariff is a multi-level tariff note the rate

common to the greatest number of consum-ers and provide details of other rates in thecomments section. Note also the millingtariff for the grains shown.

These figures will indicate the prevailing tar-iff rates for processing various agro-products and other end uses. Thus, itshould be noted that if the proposed end usetariff is significantly higher than those in thevicinity, there might be difficulties in suc-cessfully operating them

When calculating the total estimated income

add the income from sales of electricity tohouseholds (S1) and sales of electricity tobusiness loads (S2) if the businesses areowned by other entrepreneurs and not the de-veloper. This is because the entrepreneurdoes not hand over the income from the enduses to the developer

If the developer owns the end uses, then add

the income from sales of electricity to house-holds (S1) and the income from the operationof businesses (S3) but not the sales of elec-tricity to the businesses (S2) because the de-veloper does not need to pay for the electricitythat is consumed from his power plant.

List the human resources costs required to runthe plant. Note that the manpower of MH plantsis also based on the size of the plant and the

distribution area covered.

All salaries of people employed by the MHP -manager, operators, accountant should be esti-mated based on nearby MHP plants or the pre-vailing rates in the community for similar type ofwork (e.g., school teacher, government employeeetc.)

If this is a community owned scheme based ondiscussions at site, state also the cash contribu-tion by participating households as well as thelabour contribution in terms of person days aswell as in rupee amount.

Since the project cost will be determined at alater stage the loan amount cannot be fixed atsite. However, the survey team should informthe developer that there may be a need for a

bank loan if the subsidy and the equity amountare less than the total project cost.
