'content' => '<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">March 27: Excessive price hike in India, which produces electricity from coal plants, has had a direct impact on Nepal. Nepal Electricity Authority is distributing electricity imported from India at Rs 38 per unit. At present, it is not possible to predict how long the effects of the continuous increase in electricity prices in the energy exchange market will last. But for Nepal, the NEA says, such problems will persist only for the next one and a half months.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Nepal produces excess of electricity during the rainy season, but it has import electricity during the winter. The NEA, which felt a relief after the electricity produced by the Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project was connected to the national grid, is still facing problem in the dry season. However, there is no need to import large amount of electricity from India at present, says NEA.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">According to NEA Executive Director Kulman Ghising, only 350 to 400 MW electricity is being imported depending on the need. Most of the projects in Nepal are based on run-of-the-river system. Due to the severe dry weather, the water level in the rivers has dropped and only one third of the electricity is generated from these projects. Most of the private sector projects are of the same nature as well.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The total demand of electricity in Nepal is around 1,600 MW. A total of 1,300 MW of electricity flows from NEA's own projects, subsidiaries and private sector projects. The remaining 300 MW is insufficient. In such situation, there is no alternative to importing that amount of electricity.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">In India, electricity generated from solar projects is supplied throughout the day. When evening falls, the solar system's power generation stops and the coal plant has to run. Nepal has to import electricity even though it has to pay a high price for evening time management due to the global impact of price hike of coal.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Due to the crisis, the under-construction projects are in pressure to complete the works soon. If the transmission system and other technical preparations are completed, it is possible to add 150 to 200 MW of electricity to the national grid by the end of the current fiscal year.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Executive Director Ghising said that they have requested the hydropower projects to complete the final stage of construction as soon as possible. If work is done a little harder than usual, 118 MW of electricity will be added in the Dordi corridor. Similarly, there is a possibility of adding 150 MW of electricity in Solu Corridor. NEA has completed the construction of a 132 KV transmission line. This has put an end to the fear of wasting electricity due to lack of transmission lines.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Currently, the private sector is constructing projects of 3,500 MW capacity. The recent crisis has created pressure to complete these projects as soon as possible. </span></span></p>

March 27: Excessive price hike in India, which produces electricity from coal plants, has had a direct impact on Nepal. Nepal Electricity Authority is distributing electricity imported from India at Rs 38 per unit. At present, it is not possible to predict how long the effects of the continuous increase in electricity prices in the energy exchange market will last. But for Nepal, the NEA says, such problems will persist only for the next one and a half months.
Nepal produces excess of electricity during the rainy season, but it has import electricity during the winter. The NEA, which felt a relief after the electricity produced by the Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project was connected to the national grid, is still facing problem in the dry season. However, there is no need to import large amount of electricity from India at present, says NEA.
According to NEA Executive Director Kulman Ghising, only 350 to 400 MW electricity is being imported depending on the need. Most of the projects in Nepal are based on run-of-the-river system. Due to the severe dry weather, the water level in the rivers has dropped and only one third of the electricity is generated from these projects. Most of the private sector projects are of the same nature as well.
The total demand of electricity in Nepal is around 1,600 MW. A total of 1,300 MW of electricity flows from NEA's own projects, subsidiaries and private sector projects. The remaining 300 MW is insufficient. In such situation, there is no alternative to importing that amount of electricity.
In India, electricity generated from solar projects is supplied throughout the day. When evening falls, the solar system's power generation stops and the coal plant has to run. Nepal has to import electricity even though it has to pay a high price for evening time management due to the global impact of price hike of coal.
Due to the crisis, the under-construction projects are in pressure to complete the works soon. If the transmission system and other technical preparations are completed, it is possible to add 150 to 200 MW of electricity to the national grid by the end of the current fiscal year.
Executive Director Ghising said that they have requested the hydropower projects to complete the final stage of construction as soon as possible. If work is done a little harder than usual, 118 MW of electricity will be added in the Dordi corridor. Similarly, there is a possibility of adding 150 MW of electricity in Solu Corridor. NEA has completed the construction of a 132 KV transmission line. This has put an end to the fear of wasting electricity due to lack of transmission lines.
Currently, the private sector is constructing projects of 3,500 MW capacity. The recent crisis has created pressure to complete these projects as soon as possible.

'content' => '<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">March 27: Excessive price hike in India, which produces electricity from coal plants, has had a direct impact on Nepal. Nepal Electricity Authority is distributing electricity imported from India at Rs 38 per unit. At present, it is not possible to predict how long the effects of the continuous increase in electricity prices in the energy exchange market will last. But for Nepal, the NEA says, such problems will persist only for the next one and a half months.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Nepal produces excess of electricity during the rainy season, but it has import electricity during the winter. The NEA, which felt a relief after the electricity produced by the Upper Tamakoshi Hydropower Project was connected to the national grid, is still facing problem in the dry season. However, there is no need to import large amount of electricity from India at present, says NEA.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">According to NEA Executive Director Kulman Ghising, only 350 to 400 MW electricity is being imported depending on the need. Most of the projects in Nepal are based on run-of-the-river system. Due to the severe dry weather, the water level in the rivers has dropped and only one third of the electricity is generated from these projects. Most of the private sector projects are of the same nature as well.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">The total demand of electricity in Nepal is around 1,600 MW. A total of 1,300 MW of electricity flows from NEA's own projects, subsidiaries and private sector projects. The remaining 300 MW is insufficient. In such situation, there is no alternative to importing that amount of electricity.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">In India, electricity generated from solar projects is supplied throughout the day. When evening falls, the solar system's power generation stops and the coal plant has to run. Nepal has to import electricity even though it has to pay a high price for evening time management due to the global impact of price hike of coal.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Due to the crisis, the under-construction projects are in pressure to complete the works soon. If the transmission system and other technical preparations are completed, it is possible to add 150 to 200 MW of electricity to the national grid by the end of the current fiscal year.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Executive Director Ghising said that they have requested the hydropower projects to complete the final stage of construction as soon as possible. If work is done a little harder than usual, 118 MW of electricity will be added in the Dordi corridor. Similarly, there is a possibility of adding 150 MW of electricity in Solu Corridor. NEA has completed the construction of a 132 KV transmission line. This has put an end to the fear of wasting electricity due to lack of transmission lines.</span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"">Currently, the private sector is constructing projects of 3,500 MW capacity. The recent crisis has created pressure to complete these projects as soon as possible. </span></span></p>
