Tatopani Hydropower Station (Nepali: तातोपानी जलविद्युत आयोजना) is a run-of-river hydroelectric plant located in Annapurna Rural Municipality, Myagdi-4, Tatopani, Myagdi District of Nepal.[1] The flow from Tatopani River is used to generate 2.0 MW of electricity. The plant is owned and developed by the government-owned Nepal Electricity Authority. The plant started generating electricity since 2051-12-06 BS.[2] The generation license will expire in 2101-11-30 BS.[2]
