The Barahi Main Power Station is a key infrastructure asset in India's power generation grid, located on the continent of Asia. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing gas energy resources to generate bulk electricity. Operational management and ownership of the facility are handled by the Nepal Electricity Authority, which oversees daily maintenance and grid dispatch integration. The facility was officially connected to the commercial grid in 2016, since which it has maintained regular output, playing a structured role in domestic power supply security. In terms of domestic production capacity within India, Barahi Main Power Station occupies the #112 position among all operational gas power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of India's total installed gas generating capacity, which currently stands at 62,955 MW. The largest operational gas installation in India is the Vindhyachal Thermal Power Station with an output of 4,760 MW, making the Barahi Main Power Station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of India's aggregate generation capacity of 513,890 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of gas power plants (modeled at 40% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in India consumes 3 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates 28.7341° latitude and 76.8953° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include the Pragati-III Combined Cycle Power Plant (gas-fired, 1500 MW), the PRAGATI CCCP -III (gas-fired, 1371.2 MW), the BADARPUR (coal-fired, 705 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of India.
