Problems in Hydropower Business in Nepal
Problems in Hydropower Business in Nepal (Draft-detail will be published later) It have been believed that Nepal have tremendous potential in Hydropower Business. Many studies found that above 42,000 mw capacities are technically and financially viable.

Trillions of Nepalese rupees can be earned if such projects can build and sale electricity to nearby neighbours where demand of electricity is abundance.
