Hydropower projects under construction and in operation in Annapurna Rural Municipality of Myagdi have suffered major damage due to last week's floods and landslides. The damaged projects include the Middle Kaligandaki project.

The floods have affected three under-construction projects with a combined capacity of 266 MW. Electricity from eight operating projects with a combined capacity of 216 MW has gone out of the national grid.

The floods and landslides have affected both electricity generation from operating projects and the work on under-construction projects.
