    Landslides damaged transmission towers on the Dana–Kushma stretch of the 220 kV Kaligandaki corridor line, cutting off 12 hydropower plants totalling about 358 MW.

    Together with precautionary shutdowns on the Madi and Marsyangdi corridors, the NEA lost close to 1,000 MW and curtailed about 300 MW of supply to industrial areas until the towers are rebuilt.
