Transmission Line development in the past had been below par….
�Only 127 Km Transmission line and 5 Nos of substations have been added in the system during the year 2000- 2010.
�This has ultimately affected the hydropower development in Nepal
� The generation projects are cueing up; one of the reason being lack of transmission lines for the evacuation of power
But there is ambitious plan of Transmission line development in the coming 10 years
�GoN has recognized TL development as one of the important precondition for the development of Hydropower in Nepal.
�There is a plan to add around 3300 Km of intra and cross-border transmission line and 64 nos of substations in the coming 10 years to bridge the gap between the ever growing demand and supply of electricity.
�This will require whopping budget amount of around 1800 MUSD.

EXPORT MARKET: Bilateral (Indian)
– Power Hungry Indian Market
•Peak demand 122,287MW
•Peak available110256 MW
•Energy demand 830,300 MU
•Availability 746,493 MU
– Target by 2012 to add 78000 MW; most likely to be missed
– By 2030 total demand to exceed 950 GW
– Large current deficit, high growth targets, higher future demand
18
EXPORT MARKET: Bilateral (Indian)
– Can consume whole potential of Nepal
– Seasonal diversities complement each other
•India high demand in Summer – Nepal high availability
•Nepal high demand in Winter – India lower demand
– Energy mix can complement each other
•Thermal dominated Indian Supply for base load
•Hydro dominated Nepal supply for peaking
19
EXPORT MARKET : Regional
– Most South Asian countries facing energy deficit
– South Asia Special Economic Growth Quadrangle ( SASEQ)
– Bangladesh, Bhutan, Eastern India and Nepal
– SASEQ has
– Economic complementarities
– Geographical proximity
– Socio-cultural similarities
– This favors greater economic integration of the region
– Nepal’s hydro-potential can benefit the whole region
– So there exists attractive regional export market for us 20
INITIATIVES ON INFRASTRUCTURE
India – Bhutan already interconnected through
Tala – Siligurhi 400 k V, Chukha – Birpara 220 k V
India – Bangladesh
Baharampur (I) – Bheramara (B) 400 k V D/C line
India – Nepal
– First Cross- Border TL: Muzaffarpur (India) –Dhalkebar(Nepal) 400 kV D/C line 140 km, 40 k m in Nepal and 100 km in India.
– Second Cross-Border TL: proposed Moolpani-Naubise-Hetauda (Nepal)- Gorakhpur (India) 400 kV D/C line
INITIATIVES ON INFRASTRUCTURE
India - SriLanka
� Madurai – Anuradhapura +/- 400 k V HVDC Bipole
� Madurai (I) – Dhanushkodi (I) 150 ~200 km O/H,
� Dhanushkodi (I)- Talaimanar (SL) 30 ~50 km submarine cable,
� Talaimanar (SL) – New Anuradhapura (SL) 120 ~150 km O/H

Initiatives in Regional Energy Trade
• Electricity imports from Bhutan to India – increasedgradually
• India exploring natural gas import from Myanmarthrough a pipeline.
• India’s NTPC has signed an MoU to finance, install andoperate a coal power plant in Sri Lanka.
Initiatives in Regional Energy Trade
• On the Eastern side private businesses have attractiveopportunities to invest in the hydropower generationprojects in Nepal, Bhutan and Myanmar and in gas-firedpower generation in Bangladesh.
• On the Western side, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Tajikistanand Kyrgyz Republic, with assistance of multi-lateraland bilateral aid agencies, have been analysing theproposal to export about 1000 MW of hydro power fromCentral Asia to South Asia (CASA-1000).
