Theule Khola Hydropower Station (Nepali: ठिउले खोला जलविद्युत आयोजना) is a run-of-river hydro-electric plant located in Baglung District of Nepal. The flow from Theule River is used to generate 1.5 MW electricity.

The plant is owned and developed by Barahi Hydropower Pvt Ltd, an IPP of Nepal. The plant started generating electricity from 2075-03-24BS. The generation licence will expire in 2107-03-27 BS, after which the plant will be handed over to the government.
