| Summary / Abstract (Note) | Despite huge hydropower potential Nepal is not able to generate enough power. Nepal has progressed to surplus power generation but still, their potentials are highly underutilized. Energy security is the crux of developing the economy. Hydroelectric power cooperation can be significant for economic development and a sustainable future. But historical mistrust, party politics in Nepal, etc. are creating uneasiness in the relationship. Increasing understanding and political will on both sides will be helpful in resolving the issues. The power trade of surplus electricity would not only make the region’s power- secure but also more regionally integrated. |
