31 May 2024 CW Team

The budget includes substantial investments in hydropower projects, aiming to harness the country's abundant water resources to produce clean and sustainable energy. These projects are expected to significantly increase Nepal's electricity generation capacity, addressing domestic energy needs and creating surplus for export.

Starting in 2025, Nepal will export electricity to Bangladesh, marking a milestone in regional energy trade. This export initiative is a result of comprehensive bilateral agreements and cooperation between the two countries. The agreement signifies Nepal's commitment to becoming a key player in South Asia's energy market and highlights Bangladesh's efforts to diversify its energy sources to meet growing demand.

The budget also allocates funds for upgrading transmission infrastructure to support the increased flow of electricity. Enhancements in grid capacity and connectivity are essential to ensure the efficient transmission of power from hydropower plants to export markets. These infrastructure improvements will also help reduce transmission losses and improve the reliability of the national grid.

Additionally, the budget outlines incentives for private sector investment in hydropower, including tax breaks and streamlined regulatory processes. This approach is designed to attract domestic and foreign investors, fostering a competitive and vibrant hydropower sector.

By prioritising hydropower development and electricity export, Nepal is positioning itself as a sustainable energy hub in the region. The focus on renewable energy aligns with global trends towards reducing carbon emissions and promoting green energy. This initiative not only promises economic benefits for Nepal but also contributes to regional energy security and sustainability.

In conclusion, Nepal's ambitious plans for hydropower expansion and electricity export to Bangladesh signify a significant step towards regional energy integration and sustainability. The successful implementation of these projects will enhance Nepal's energy profile and foster stronger economic ties with neighbouring countries.
