5 Developments in Nepal Power System The Government of Nepal is finalizing: Revised Electricity Act 1992 Nepal Electricity Regulatory Commission Act Process for establishing National Transmission Company Committees set up to review/draft the provisions of the Acts and Articles of Association Committees comprise of representatives from various stakeholders/fields Stakeholders consultations and meetings held

6 Status of Project Development Agreement (PDA) as of Feb 2015 PDA signed: 900 MW Upper Karnali with GMR India 900 MW Arun -3 with SJVNL PDA in the pipelines: 600 MW Upper Marsyangdi - GMR 750 MW West Seti CWE ( Three Gorges ) 880 MW Tamakosi III (SN Power)

7 Development in Nepal Power Sector Reform Initiatives Government is also studying the establishment of a power trading company. Power trading company will provide the platform to developers for exploring energy markets. The revised Electricity Act will facilitate development of generation, transmission, trade of electricity. The Transmission Company will be responsible for planning, development, operation and maintenance of transmission facilities and for running/maintaining the system.

8 Updates in Nepal Power System Power System Study Report on Nepal India: Scenario finalized prepared by PGCIL Bardaghat- Gorakhpur 400 kv cross border HVDC has been proposed. NEA is in the process of procuring consultant for detail design. The Nationwide Master Plan Study on Storage Hydroelectric Projects finalized. The plan identified 31 projects with total capacity of 9000 MW.

9 Updates in Nepal Power System NEA is updating the Transmission System Master Plan. The draft report to be ready by April 2015 The revised TSMP based on 6 zones and north south connection. TSMP to cover all the river basins NEA is also in the process of developing Distribution System Plan

10 Features of Revised Electricity Act One business at a time in grid connected area Benchmarks for issuance of licenses. Generation license for domestic supply:35 years and for export oriented projects: 30 years Trans., dist and trade license valid for 25 years Government reserves the right to develop hydro projects on competitive basis. Facilities to be handed over to GoN after expiry of license. No nationalization of facilities.

16 Existing Power Exchange Arrangement Nepal and India has been exchanging power for many years. Power is being exchanged and traded mainly through 8 points along the Indo-Nepal border. Present level of exchange: 50 MW, trading: 180 MW. Power exchanges mainly through 33kV and 132kV links. To facilitate power exchange, two committees exist: Power Exchange Committee constituted in 1992 and Joint Commission on Water Resources (2000).
