Dream to Build a 10 MW Hydro-Power Station to Support an Innovation Center
Nepal has approximately 40,000 MW of economically feasible hydropower potential that will never run out.-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We have only approximately 700 MW of hydropower now.

How much Money a 10 MW Hydro Power Station Generates a Year??
• Total Net Income a Year = Yen 400,000,000
After deduction of different factors, O&M, Loan Payment etc, Approx. Balance ~ Yen 200,000,000 a year for Innovation Center
We are looking for partners and some financial
support from the government of Nepal and donors.
