Nepal Aims for 30,000 MW Electricity by 2035 Amidst Challenges

Nepal aims to generate 30,000 megawatts of electricity by 2035, increasing the previous target of 28,500 megawatts. The success hinges on policy reforms, infrastructure development, and private sector involvement. Challenges include land acquisition, forest clearance, and the slow progress of transmission line construction, which is crucial for delivering generated power to the market. The government is also focusing on increasing domestic consumption and allowing private sector participation in electricity trading.
