MESSAGE
I am pleased to learn that Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA) is going to publish
yet another edition of the Nepal Hydropower Database, 2009.

The NHA has been very active in information documentation since its formation some ten years ago on
November 5, 1999. In addition to other brainstorming activities the Association brought out its first striking
publication – the Nepal Hydropower Database- in 2001. It consisted of very useful data such as articles from
the pioneering and forefront hydropower entrepreneurs, inventory of hydropower projects, projects under study,
agencies, companies and individual experts in and outside Nepal. I am sure, all these information and many
more will find adequate space in this new edition of 2009 which will make the publication worth collection and
professionally a reference text to those interested to venture for hydropower undertaking in Nepal.

At present, without exaggeration, Nepalese people are facing long load shedding hours. It is, however, not
far from anybody’s understanding that this power crisis is the outcome of the planning and implementation
deficiencies in the past, although the situation has been further aggravated by the natural disasters such as the
one caused by Koshi River breach on its left bank at Kusaha, Sunsari. The Koshi flood caused collapse of at least
five transmission towers and the consequent disruption of power import from India.

Government of Nepal and the Ministry of Water Resources in particular pledges with full commitment to take
on the situation as a challenge and has come up with number of immediate, short term, medium term and long
term action plans to counter the adverse situation. Practically, it has taken some time to restore the transmission
structures owing to technical reasons. I believe with strategic efforts, unflinching resolve and sincere support from
the professional sectors like the ones related to NHA, we will restore the situation shortly and will accomplish
the greater goals in the area of power development.

Finally, I would like to wish the very best to NHA for the successful publication of the Hydropower Database,
2009. May I also wish on this occasion that the database be best used for the benefit of the larger mass of
Nepal.
NHA President’s Message
N

I gives me great pleasure to present an updated edition of Nepal Hydropower


It
Database 2009. It shows the existence of various resources available in the
D
country. I hope that it will serve as a reference for all engaged and interested in
the field of hydropower and water resource development in Nepal.

Nepal is endowed with immense water resources in general and hydropower in


particular. It must be exploited in a judicious manner for the benefit of Nepali
people. In this background, Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA)’s mission
is to assist in creation of an enabling environment for rapid hydropower
development.

Government of Nepal has recognized NHA role by including its representative


in various task forces and committees related with hydropower development.
I have been especially privileged to be nominated as one of the members of
the NEA Board, 10,000 MW Hydropower Development Planning Task Force,
and Team to recommend to the Ministry of Finance for the possible budgetary
concessions in Energy related business.

Recently, the hydropower sector in Nepal has witnessed a few positive steps
and initiatives by the Government toward the enhancement of hydropower
development. But NHA feels strongly that these facilities are not enough for
the rapid development of hydropower in Nepal. The crippling load shedding
has adversely affected the day-to-day life of an ordinary Nepali and the outputs
of the industries in Nepal as well. We strongly recommend to the Government
to immediately implement in a “War Footing” all the 35 actions mentioned in
‘National Electricity Crisis Mitigation Work plan - 2065 (2008-09).

Finally, I would like to convey my sincere gratitude to all NHA members for
their co-operations in keeping the spirit and enthusiasm for fulfilling NHA’s
objectives. I also want to thank the members of NHA Database Updating
Committee for their hard work in bringing out this Hydropower Database –
2009.

A Note from Editorial Team
It gives us pleasure to publish this Nepal Hydropower Database 2009, an update of
the previous database of 2001. This database aims to provide hydropower related
information of Nepal to the stakeholders such as developers, donor agencies,
manufacturers, suppliers, researchers, consultants, contractors etc.
The Government of Nepal has made a commitment to develop 10,000 MW
in the next 10 years. This announcement has created new enthusiasm and vibrancy in
the hydropower sector. Further, a Committee of Experts (including NHA President)
has been constituted to advise the Government to identify potential projects, to
prioritize and to recommend the implementation modalities. Less than 700MW of
hydropower has been developed in the country in last 100 years. Hence, this extra
ordinary target of 10,000 MW in ten years requires extra ordinary efforts for planning
and implementation. We urge relevant government and non-governmental agencies
to gear up to fulfill this ambitious but achievable target. This can not however be
achieved in a business-as-usual mode; and now is the time to act positively in a “war
footing” pace.
While various barriers and hurdles – be it political, economical, legal, institutional,
environmental or social- have hampered hydropower development in the past, there
is no reason why these can not be overcome now. There have been some positive

initiatives to overcome some of the numerous obstacles such as waiving off of

Suggestions for the Development of Water Resources in Nepal:


Nepal Communist Party (Maoist) requested Nepal Hydropower
Association for its suggestions to expedite the process of
Hydropower development in the changing political context of
Nepal. NHA’s concept was presented to the party.

Pro-Poor Hydro Power Development: A Talk program was


presented on the topic from the Officials/Experts of PEEDA
on 8 August 2008. The idea is to develop a modality in involving
very poor people in the hydro project development by offering
them work in the project construction and investing part of their
earnings by buying shares of the project by them.
A Talk program on Application of Electrical Resistivity
Tomography (ERT) in the Hydropower sector was presented by
Mr. Surendra Raj Pant, Engineer Geo-physicist on 20 February
2009. Thirty NHA members and others participated in the Talk
program.

Information Dissemination: NHA has been disseminating its


Hydropower related viewpoints in HYDRO Nepal a journal on
water, energy and environment published twice a year. On 3rd issue
of this journal it published Nepal Hydropower Association Concept to

to completion. It is also suggested that tenders for other
projects not be issued until the results of the projects that
have been awarded to foreign developers is certain.
7. Given that there are many projects that could start
construction, but have not done so, identify the cause
for the delay in starting work, and provide solutions
for these. If even after the problems are resolved the
developer does not develop these projects, re-issue license
to another developer through open competition with the
understanding that the new owner must start the project
immediately.
8. Considering the fact that the capacity of Nepali developer
is increasing, projects up to 100 MW should be secured for
them instead of foreign company.
9. In order to secure local financial resources to invest in
hydropower, policy of Nepal Rastra Bank should be
reviewed so that the Equity - loan ratio of 20:80 and
loan duration for at least 10 years can be acquired, at a
minimum, by developers of domestic projects.
10. Hydropower Projects being developed with Nepali
investment should be able to secure 0% VAT, and income
tax should be exempt for 10 years.
11. Electricity Act 2064 and Electricity Regulatory Commission
Act 2064 have been proposed. Approve the proposal by
the Constitution Assembly after detail discussion and
review with all relevant stakeholders.
