Gandak Hydro Power Station is a hydro-electric plant located in Pratappur, Nawalparasi district of Nepal. The flow from Narayani River is used——to generate 15 MW electricity. And annual energy is 106.38 GWh. The plant is a part of irrigation facility in the: Gandak River constructed as a part of India-Nepal Gandak River Agreement. A barrage in the——Narayani river diverts the flow——to India and "Nepal for irrigation viz." the eastern canal (24.1 m/s) and western canal (8.5 m/s).
