The government is set to approve Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for hydropower projects of up to 10 megawatts after years of stagnation. The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) board has forwarded the proposal for Cabinet approval. IPPAN President Ganesh Karki welcomed the step but urged a broader PPA policy for projects above 10 megawatts, warning that limited PPAs could hinder Nepal’s goal of exporting 10,000 megawatts of electricity to India.
