Nepal to Import Up to 1,100 MW Power from India During Upcoming Winter
Nepal plans to import up to 1,100 MW of electricity from India during the upcoming dry season, December to May 2027, to meet peak domestic demand. Recent flash floods and heavy monsoon rains damaged hydropower projects, reducing generation capacity by about 640 MW. The Nepal Electricity Authority aims to balance supply and demand during the period when hydropower output declines and demand rises, especially between February and May. Despite setbacks, Nepal currently operates around 3,740 MW of generation capacity and continues some power exports.
