Nepal plans to import up to 1,100 MW power from India this winter
Nepal plans to import up to 1,100 MW (megawatts) of power from India this winter. Floods and monsoon rains have cut its own hydropower capacity by about 640 MW. The Nepal Electricity Authority is preparing a work plan for the dry period from December to May 2027, when run-of-the-river projects generate much less. Indian power suppliers may see fresh cross-border demand.
