Nepal starts exporting surplus energy to India
In what would boost cross-border energy partnership, Nepal has started selling electricity to India through its power exchange market since last week.
Following the rainy season, Nepal’s hydel power projects produced excess power which prompted the Nepal Electricity Authority to sell surplus energy to the Indian market.“We started selling 37.7MW of electricity to Indian buyers starting from 12.15 am on Thursday,” Suresh Bhattarai, spokesperson at the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) told reporters in Kathmandu.
