Message

I am glad that Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA) has published the "Nepal Hydropower
Database 2016", a subject of high importance to all of us concerned with the economic development
and the wellbeing of the Nepalese people.

Hydropower is the foremost source of electricity generation in Nepal. Adequate supply of

electricity is essential for industrialization, enhancement of agricultural activities, improvement
of health, education, rural enterprises and various other economic activities, all of which
contribute to increased productivity, to improve living conditions of people and to alleviate
poverty. The Nepalese Government is very keen on the rapid development of this renewable
resource.

If harnessed and managed properly, I believe we have the potential to meet our own long term
domestic demand of electricity for various uses. There is also great potential to avail the excess power
to the countries in the region. We intend to achieve this through co-operation based on equitable
terms and mutual benefit and through a broad vision of "Planning Prosperity Together" with
the neighbors.

I understand that hydropower development requires multidisciplinary co-operation of national policy

makers, planners, engineers, environmentalists, conservationists, economists, financiers, civil society,
and also international development partners. I hope information provided in this directory will be
helpful in fostering such cooperation among the professionals. I wish NHA a great success to enhance
the professional competency of its members and contribute effectively enabling the hydropower sector
in Nepal to find its place in the development of the nation.

Message From the Minister for Energy
Ref No.:
Hydropower is the most promising sustainable natural resource to generate energy. Even though having
a huge hydro potential, Nepal has not been able to tap it and relies heavily on nonrenewable form of
energy for its needs. The only possible way to prosper our nation is by tapping the water resource in
correct manner. Our country has around 175 million cubic meter of Water available to generate electricity
and from that volume 42000 MW electricity can be generated in an economical way. The Nepalese
people can prosper from this electricity and the surplus can be sold to other countries adding financial
assistance to our country.

For the construction and development of Hydropower, in one hand we need to be able to attract foreign
investors in the other Nepal Government will be implementing a 4P module (Public, Private, People,
Partnership) to harness the resource within the country. Ministry of Energy will be providing more
conducive environment for the developers in the sector. In order to alleviate National Energy Crisis of
Energy Generation and Distribution, construction of Electricity Transmission Lines will be prioritized.
For overall energy development of transmission and distribution line Government will make Department
of Electricity Development (DOED), Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), Hydro Investment and
Development Company Limited (HIDCL) more aggressive and also introduce Generation, Transmission,
Engineering and Business companies under the wing of Ministry of Energy to help overcome the current
energy crisis of Nepal. The main responsibility of these organizations will be to attract foreign investment
and utilization of scattered financial resources.

The Ministry of Energy has also initiated “Nepal ko Pani, Janta ko Lagani” program. The program
will be utilizing the resources available in our country and abroad for national development in order to
make our country independent of Energy dependency. The new program expects to bring in competition
in the sector and transparency in the process.

Information Management is an important aspect for a development activity. The necessity of thorough
documentation of information on various aspects of hydropower development in Nepal was felt since
long. In this context, the database has/is expected to fill this void. The Nepal Hydropower Database
2016 will provide a comprehensive information on the professionals; individuals and corporate available
in Nepal, project status and overall information regarding hydropower in Nepal. I hope this will serve as
a valuable reference for the people and agencies interested and actively engaged in hydropower sector
in Nepal and in addressing the challenges.

Message from the Energy Secretary

I would like to congratulate Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA) for publishing the "Nepal
Hydropower Database 2016". I understand that hydropower development requires multidisciplinary
co-operation and Nepal Hydropower Database 2016 has been able to document this information
comprehensively. I am sure this directory will contribute effectively as reference towards enabling
sustainable hydropower development in Nepal.

Nepal Government has always encouraged development of Hydropower sector as primary resource.
We believe that adequate supply of electricity is essential to improve economic conditions of Nepalese
people. There is a need of extensive information on various aspects of hydropower development in
Nepal not just to encourage investments but also to provide information on current scenario of various
aspects of Hydropower in Nepal. The database highlights the huge network of professional individual
resource, corporate networks, and government agencies in Nepal all working to enable hydro sector in
Nepal.

Once again I would like to appreciate the service provided by Nepal Hydropower Association and wish
Nepal Hydropower Association always contributes towards sustainable development of Hydropower
Sector of Nepal.

Nepal Hydropower Association: An Introduction

Er. Shashank Raj Bhattarai

Executive Officer, NHA

Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA) is a non-governmental, non-profit making organization established

mainly to support the capacity building of hydropower professionals and to create a better environment
of carefully planned hydro projects in Nepal. NHA was registered with His Majesty’s Government of Nepal
on 4 August 1999 as a non-governmental, non-profit-making organization and was officially inaugurated on
5 November 1999 at Hotel Radisson Kathmandu. NHA had also served as the National Committee of the
International Hydropower Association (IHA). By 1999 IHA representation had reached 57 countries, and in
August 1999, Nepal became the fourth (after New Zealand, India and Canada) to form a National Committee
of IHA, although presently, NHA is an independent organization having cooperation with IHA and similar other
organization nationally and internationally.

Besides providing a solid platform for its members to join forces to exchange experiences, to enhance their
knowledge, and to strengthen national and international co-operation to tackle the challenges facing the
profession today, NHA also strives to raise the profile of hydropower by developing useful information and
disseminating them to policy makers, politicians, professionals, related expertise and the general public.

NHA has been actively involved in the information documentation of hydropower sector in Nepal since
its conception in 5th  of November 1999. The first striking publication of NHA was the Nepal Hydropower
Database 2001. It contained genuinely useful data such as articles from the pioneering and forefront
hydropower entrepreneurs, inventory of hydropower projects, projects under study, agencies, companies
and individual experts in and outside Nepal. Further, NHA updated the database in 2009 and published the
Nepal Hydropower Database 2009 where all the information mentioned above found an adequate space.
The databases have been used for the benefit of the larger mass of Nepal. I am pleased to inform you that
Nepal Hydropower Association (NHA) is going to publish this yet another edition of the Nepal Hydropower
Database in 2016. 

Many people wonder the palpable benefits of joining NHA. I have summarized few of them below:

• As a member, one can benefit from valuable researches and state-of-the-art technical and financial
information, networks.
• NHA members are entitled for a discounted price for any event/ seminars organized by NHA.
• Members regularly receive a free copy of the official NHA Newsletter.

As of December 2016, NHA has more than 200 Individual and 20 Corporate Members.
I find it essential to draw your attention to the fact that NHA is a non-profit and a mutual association of its
members. NHA is run exclusively on membership fees and financial support from various sponsors. The
fact that NHA was successful in organizing two major international conferences and compile the Nepal
Hydropower Database, speaks for the significance of NHA both at home and abroad. Hard work comes at
a price and without the support of Hydro Lab Pvt. Ltd., which has sheltered the NHA secretariat all these
years, all this success would not have been possible. Let us work together and see this association grow in the
coming years!

understand the overall sustainability of a hydropower project. The
‘spider diagram’ below shows the environmental, social, technical and
economic aspects which are included.
The Protocol also includes ‘cross-cutting issues’ such as climate change
and human rights, which feature in multiple topics.

Who has used the Protocol?

The following companies have gone through training on the Protocol and
undertaken an official assessment of a project.

For each sustainability topic, performance is scored from one to five.

Five represents proven best-practice, three represents basic good

Effects of Loss Reduction Activities in Minimization of Load Shedding

Braj Bhushan Chaudhary

Director
Planning and Technical Service Department, NEA

Nepal Electricity Authority is a utility which is responsible for electricity generation, transmission and
distribution. NEA service starts from power house and ends at the house of consumers. It has provided
electricity services almost (55 to 60%) of population. Although we have the highest power potential 83,000
MW next to Brazil in the world, yet the total generation capacity is only 850 MW. Energy Consumption
status shows only 2% of total energy consumption is fulfilled by electricity. Hydropower is the main source
of renewable energy and run off river power plants are mainly used for this. Storage power plants such as
Kulekhani 1st & 2nd are peaking power plants. Most of the power plants operate in full capacity in wet season.
But the generation drops to (25-30%) of its installed capacity due to the decreasing discharge flow of rivers in
dry season i.e. in the month of December, January, February and March.

Installed Capacity: 854.9 MW

1700 Micro HP 15 MW In Grid 850.4 MW OFF Grid 4.5 MW

Hydro 797 MW Thermal 53.4 MW

ROR 705 MW Storage 92 MW

Demand on 2073-07-14: 1445 MW
Available Power on 2073-07-14: 976 MW
Power deficit: 469 MW
The above study shows the wide gap between the energy demand and supply which is attributable to the
persistent long hour-load shedding consequently affecting the life of the people and the overall economy.
It is necessary to explain about the contribution of NEA and IPPs generation as well as power import from
India, in INPs.
Energy Contribution in INP System (2072/073)

Total available energy (Gwh) 5100.11 Contribution

a. Nepal Electricity Authority own generation (Gwh) 2168.56 42.52%
b. Power purchase from IPPS (Gwh) 1173.14 23%
c. Power purchase from India (Gwh) 1758.41 34.48%

The contribution of NEA (own) and IPPS generation are seemed 65.52% on average and their generation
drops to (25-30%) in dry season. Thus the condition of load shedding becomes more severe in dry season
than wet season.

Reasons of Load Shedding:

Wide gap between energy demand and supply:
a. All the existing hydropower plants are run off river type except Kulekhani (1) & (2). They cannot be
operated on full capacity in whole year. So, it is essential to construct storage power plants such as Budhi
Gandaki (1200 MW), West Seti (750 W), Uttarganga and Andhikhola (187 MW) to feed the power at peak
load period.

b. Delay in Transmission Line Construction:

220 KV and 400 kV transmission lines known as back bone of power transmission which are under
construction should be completed timely.
(i) The transmission line of the following corridors should be constructed at the earliest.
Trisuli – Chilime, Marsyandi, Kaligandaki, Solu, Koshi, Kabeli.

c. Congestion in existing transmission line:

132 KV Pokhara-Bharatpur, Bharatpur-Hetauda, Bharatpur-Kawasoti, Bardghat transmission line generally
become congested in peak load period.

d. Electricity Loss:
It is also one of the main reasons of load shedding. The accumulated loss of INPS f/y 2072/73 was 25.78%
and it includes the loss due to generation, transmission and distribution as below:
Total unit received (Gwh) : 5047
Total sales unit (Gwh) : 3746
Total system loss of NPS : 25.78%

18 The Nepal Hydropower Database 2016

 Total Loss Generation Loss Transmission Loss Distribution Loss
25.78% 1.16% 4.82% 19.80

The system loss 25.78% stands for commercial and technical loss. The above data shows that the maximum
loss occurs in distribution system.

Reasons for Technical Loss:

i. Heavily loading of Transmission and Distribution Lines.
ii. Overloading of Grid and Distribution S/S.
iii. Overloading of conductors and distribution transformers.
iv. Long transmission and distribution lines.
v. Locations of S/S and distribution transformers are not at load centres.
vi. Loose connection of jumpers and usage of lower size conductors.
vii. Lack of adequate capacity of Capacitor Bank Connection at load ends.
viii. Unbalance loads on feeders and transformers.
ix. Long single phase Line.
x. Large nos. of repaired transformers connections in distribution system.

It is essential to reinforce the distribution system to reduce the technical loss. The detail distribution planning
is necessary and the up gradation work shall be initiated promptly according to this plan. After the successful
completion of reinforcement work, the technical loss may be reduced upto (7-8)%. This result has become
possible and achieved in some countries. But it needs huge budget for this work.

Reasons for Commercial Loss:

i) Wrong connection of meters (opposite polarity of CTs. PT and service cables at meter
terminals).
ii) Human errors in meter reading.
iii) By pass the energy meter breaking the meter box/terminal seals of utility.
iv) Switching off main switch and misuse the electricity using hook wires.
v) Inserting the foreign elements to stop the disc rotation of energy meters.
vi) Delay in changing of defective/stopped energy meters.

NEA management has initiated effective programs to control the electricity theft on large scale throughout
the country. The management has determined to reduce the commercial loss by 3.5% from last F/Y 2072/073
(25.78%) and it shall be maintained up to 22.28% in F/Y 2073/074.

All the 100 NEA Distribution Centers have continued the loss reduction activities as follows:

i) To remove the direct hooking wires with the help of local administration, journalists media and
civil society persons.
ii) To arrange the interaction program at local level for the public awareness not to misuses the
electricity.
iii) To distribute pamphlets, news bulletins at local Hat Bazars.
iv) To start the re-sealing programs of energy meters
v) To change the defective/stopped meters at the earliest.
vi) To depute the vigilance group for the cross checking of units consumed in energy meters.
vii) Even Ministry of energy, GoN has formed a "Special Electricity Theft Control Committee" for the
unscheduled inspection and monitoring regarding the loss reduction activities. Ultimately the
results of the above regular and effective programs shall help in reducing electricity leakage and
theft control.

The Nepal Hydropower Database 2016 19

Remarks:
The volume of technical loss expected to be around (15-16 %) in distribution system. So, it is also necessary
to reduce it up to (7-8 %). The huge budget is required to achieve this goal and it is essential to re-enforce/
upgrade the existing distribution system.

Now, it has become essential to use Smart Meters in our System to reduce the Commercial Loss and initiate
the re-enforcement works according to Distribution Planning. Commercial Loss Control is not only possible
by Nepal Electricity Authority's effort but it needs the joint efforts of all political parties, Nagarik Samaj,
Journalists and media persons also. The loss control supports to reduce the gap between energy demand and
supply which further helps in minimization of Load Shedding.
