Middle Marsyandgi Hydropower Station (Nepali:मध्य मर्स्याङ्दी जलविद्युत आयोजना) is a run-of-river hydro-electric plant located in Lamjung district of western Nepal. The flow from Marshyangdi River is used to generate 70 MW electricity. [2] The plant is connected to the national grid of Nepal. [3]

The plant was set to be commissioned in 2004 but it was delayed by four years. [4] The plant faces siltation problems from time to time.[5]
