Message from Executive Director

Nepal is a small mountainous country bordering between India and China. At the Northern part of the country there are high Himalayas and mountains whereas at the Southern part it is flat land. The Himalayas are the perennial sources of water that can be used for drinking, irrigation and power generation. With the magical topographic variation within a small distance and perennial sources of water there is ample opportunity for hydropower generation.

Power generation through private sector has been opened after the introduction of  Hydropower Development Policy and Electricity Act in 1991. Since then within a short span of time, the contribution of electric power in the national grid by private sector has remain significant. With this policy reform we were able to build and operating two hydropower projects, Piluwakhola (3MW) at Sankhuwasabha district and Ridikhola (2.4MW) at Gulmi district, Nepal.

Nepal is facing power deficit, hence, there is scope for  power generation from public and private sector.  If additional energy generated from the projects it can also be sold to the neighboring country. The company  is working to build new projects.

Power is the basic infrastructure for economic growth. In order to support the country's deficit power, I request all  for investment in hydropower projects in Nepal. Our motto is "Power Generation through Peoples' Participation". We request you to join hand by investing in new projects.
