Nepal is preparing to send 60 MW of electricity to Bangladesh after both countries agreed through their joint energy committee. The plan also includes an extra 20 MW that will travel through India’s transmission lines.
Bangladesh will buy the power, Nepal will supply it, and India will allow the electricity to pass through its grid. This three-country arrangement shows how regional energy cooperation is slowly expanding in South Asia.
For Nepal, exporting power is becoming an important source of income, especially during the wet season when hydropower production increases. Energy officials believe this new agreement could open the door to larger exports in the future.
As energy demand rises across the region, Nepal hopes to position itself as a steady hydropower supplier. Successful deals like this could strengthen investor confidence and support more hydro projects in the coming years.
