"Though considered a milestone in Nepal's electrification", writes Adarsha Bohara, one of K&A's distribution design engineers, "Chandrajyoti did nothing more than brighten the palaces of the ruling family of Ranas for most of its early life. For 28 years, it remained the only electrical power source in Nepal until 1939, when a second hydropower project capable of 640 kilowatts was built northeast of Kathmandu. However, just like the previous power plant, it only added to the Rana dynasty's sybarite list of luxuries."
