Nepal to export 370 MW power to India via low-capacity lines

Nepal is considering exporting 370 megawatts (MW) of electricity to India using low-capacity transmission lines. This decision comes in light of the fact that the only existing high-capacity 400kV Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur line is the sole option available, as other under-construction high-capacity transmission lines have not been completed yet.

The maximum amount of electricity Nepal can export through the Dhalkebar-Muzaffarpur Cross-Border Transmission is 1,000 MW, and during the Secretary-level Joint Steering Committee (JSC) meeting in Rajasthan, India, in February, the two countries agreed to transmit a maximum of 800 MW.

However, India has so far allowed Nepal to export only up to 452.6 MW, which is generated by its ten hydropower projects. In the JSC meeting, they also discussed the possibility of exploring other small capacity cross power lines for cross-border electricity trading.

Currently, there are 11 lower capacity cross-border power lines connecting the two countries. Prabal Adhikari, the power trade director at the state-owned utility Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), mentioned that they proposed to export around 70 MW through the 32 kV Mahendranagar-Tanakpur Transmission line. This line has previously been used for importing power from India.
