Why hydropower development is slow in Nepal despite huge potential?


It was Dr. Hari Man Shrestha who concluded that Nepal has a capacity of 83,000 MW during his PhD research at Moscow Power Institute; USSR in 1966 A.D. Nepalese finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel and hoped that the generation of energy will lead towards prosperity. After so many decades, we are still generating less than 800 MW only. This has forced people to face the scheduled power cuts for up to 16 hours a day.
