The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has called on local governments to apply for power purchase agreements for solar projects by the end of the month. Under a decision made on November 5, 2025, NEA will buy electricity at Rs 4.99 per unit from projects where local governments hold at least a 51% stake. Each project will have a maximum capacity of 1 megawatt and will be connected to the 33/11 KV grid. Applicants must submit required documents, including company registration, land agreements, and technical plans, before the end of the fiscal year.
