A project to drain snow melt from the Tso Rolpa lake in Rolwaling Valley to prevent an outburst flood is also generating electricity, making it the highest hydroelectric plant in the world. The 15kW plant is running on the overflow of the 4,580m Tsho Rolpa glacial lake and generates enough power for a three member monitoring team posted at the station year round, but can serve as a test case for future plants at high altitudes.
