Jilli Chumli Khola Hydropower Project (JCKHPP) is a storage-type scheme located at Mahawai Rural Municipality (previously Odanakhu VDC) of Kalikot District, Karnali Province. Jilli-Chumli Khola is a tributary of Tila Nadi. Geographically, the project area ranges from the latitudes 28° 59’ 27" N to 29° 5’ 50" N and the longitudes 81° 45’ 10" E to 81° 50’ 45" E, respectively.
The proposed headworks site lies at an altitude of about 2840 m (ground level). The surface powerhouse is located on the right bank of the Jilli Chumli Khola just upstream of the confluence of the Ruru Banche Khola with the Jilli Chumli Khola near Padmaghat. It has an installed capacity of 100 MW with a design discharge of 8.33 m³/sec and a rated net head of 1573 m. 529.911 GWh of annually generated energy will be evacuated to Phukot substation at Kalikot by a 132 kV double-circuit transmission line at Phukot substation of NEA. The length of the 132 kV transmission line will be about 16 km from the project powerhouse to Phukot Substation.
