Energy & Power

Energy sector in Nepal has been primarily dominated by hydropower due to abundance in water resources. Nepal has a significant potential for hydropower generation but the actual installed capacity is much lower than the potential, with frequent power shortages and blackouts being a common occurrence. The existing energy infrastructure faces challenges in terms of capacity, maintenance, and transmission losses. The lack of adequate infrastructure, including transmission lines and substations limits capacity to generate and distribute electricity effectively. Government has been actively promoting investment in the sector, including through public-private partnerships and foreign direct investment. Favorable topography and water resources offer significant potential for hydropower generation, which could help meet domestic demand and support energy exports to neighboring countries.
