In a recent development, Kulman Ghising, the Executive Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, has submitted a clarification letter to the Cabinet. The letter addresses the decision to increase prices and enter into a power purchase agreement with India. It highlights concerns about the lack of clarity in the cost-benefit analysis and the presence of errors in the operational cost evaluation.
The move to enhance electricity rates and engage in energy procurement from India has sparked debates among stakeholders in the energy sector. Ghising’s communication to the Cabinet aims to shed light on the rationale behind these decisions and the potential implications for Nepal’s energy landscape.
Ramesh Khatri, a representative of Kansai Nepal News, expressed his views on the matter. He emphasized the importance of transparent decision-making processes in the energy sector to ensure accountability and public trust. Khatri also highlighted the need for a thorough review of the cost implications of the power purchase agreement with India to safeguard Nepal’s long-term energy security.
