A Word from Our
CEO
Hydropower resource is lauded as Nepal’s answer to its energy woes, yet only 3% of its full potential is currently being harnessed. Nepal possesses enormous hydroelectric potential yet the country relies on import to meet the rising demand of energy from the industry as well as households. The power system posses total installed capacity of about 1500 MW and peak demand of approximately 1450 MW. Because of the RoR type projects, the generation in dry season approximately drops down to 1/4th of the installed capacity. Besides, the demand for the electricity is expected to go up by 10% annually. Currently the country's demand is fulfilled from imports from India (especially in dry season). The Country's need is to develop peaking RoR and reservoir projects.
For the last 25 years, the government has adopted the favorable policy to involve the private sector in electricity production which attracted a number of initiatives from private entrepreneurs interested in investing in hydropower project, especially those of small and medium size. Currently 2,400 MW from 172 hydropower projects are in construction phase. The magnitude of the PRoR and Reservoir type projects are less than 200 MW. The country requires at least 700-1000 MW reservoir capacity based on the import data from India (in 2020, NEA imports approximately 750 MW during the dry season).
BHPL has played a key role in formulating the private sector friendly policy and provides advisory support to the small hydropower projects in Nepal. BHPL has set its business milestones to establish the hydropower business and have a plan to develop 14.5 MW in the next four years out of which 1.5 MW is in operation for the last three years. We believe on teamwork, inclusive development and sustainable development for the benefits company and its team.
