Nepal Government Prepares New Electricity Tariff Structure with Seasonal Pricing

Kathmandu. The Government of Nepal has started preparations to revise the current electricity tariff structure and set new tariff rates.

Intensive discussions are underway between the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Nepal Electricity Authority, and the Electricity Regulatory Commission on this matter. The main feature of this adjustment is the implementation of the 'seasonal tariff' system, under which the price of electricity will differ for the rainy season and the dry season.
