The Energy Roadmap

Endowed with enormous water resources, Nepal is making every effort to generate sufficient electricity to achieve the goal of development and prosperity. Electricity is the primary component of industrialisation, modernisation of agriculture and technological innovation in addition to easing the daily life of the people. One of the reasons behind the underdevelopment of Nepal is its inability to produce electricity in the desired quantity. Nepal’s manufacturing and agriculture sectors are in dire need of investment. Uninterrupted power supply is the key to their development. The importance of electricity has further increased in the wake of the global shift to green energy, which is essential to mitigate the impacts of climate change. This is a reason why Nepal has placed top priority on the generation of a larger quantity of power to tackle the development challenges of the new century.
