The Aporia · India to supply Nepal electricity after floods wrecked hydropower projects

India will supply up to 654 megawatts of electricity daily for 18 hours to Nepal until December 31st to help address power shortages caused by recent floods that destroyed at least 12 hydropower projects and killed over 1,400 people. The flooding also left more than 5,500 missing, including nearly 900 power station workers, and displaced thousands of residents. Nepal had relied almost entirely on hydropower before the disaster but now must import electricity after years of exporting surplus energy to India.

Story summary

The Ministry of Power in India has approved expedited export of electricity to flood-hit Nepal, allowing for up to 654 megawatts of power transmission for 18 hours a day starting from September 13 until December 31. This decision aims to help Nepal recover from devastating floods that destroyed hydropower infrastructure and claimed over 1,300 lives. Before the disaster, nearly 100% of Nepal’s energy needs were met by hydropower; however, damage to at least 12 hydropower projects has left the country importing electricity rather than exporting it as usual. The floods, triggered on August 26 by a glacial mountain collapse on the China-Nepal border, have also displaced thousands and left over 5,500 people missing in Nepal alone.
