Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.
How electricity works in Nepal
Vertically integrated utilityOne utility does everything
Hydropower supplies nearly all electricity, with exports to India.
No power exchange: the utility produces or buys electricity and sells it at set tariffs.
Regional grid
Not part of a larger synchronous grid or regional power pool.
What does “Vertically integrated utility” mean?
A single, usually state-owned utility generates, transmits and distributes electricity. Prices are set or approved by the government or a regulator rather than by a market.
