Nepal’s 30,000 MW goal stuck in PPA gridlock

mypeoplesreview.com · 1 week ago

Nepal's goal to generate 30,000 megawatts of electricity in 10 years is hindered by the lack of guaranteed power purchase agreements (PPAs) for private investors. While policy reforms are promised, the uncertainty over PPA modalities has stalled momentum. The Nepal Electricity Authority's reluctance to sign more PPAs due to concerns about oversupply and financial exposure, coupled with uncertainties in regional export markets, jeopardizes the target.
