Nepal will soon send 40 MW of electricity to Bangladesh via India after the three countries sign a tripartite power trading deal on July 28 (Sunday).
The deal is historic as this will be the first time in history that Nepal will sell electricity to a third country other than India.
Ground has been cleared for the three countries to sign the agreement on exporting electricity to Bangladesh, said Chandan Kumar Ghosh, spokesperson at Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) – the government-owned electricity body.
The power sale agreement will be signed in New Delhi by officials from NEA, the Bangladesh Power Development Board (BPDB) and the NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam Ltd (NVVN) of India.
Nepal’s Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, Dipak Khadka, India’s Power Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar and Bangladesh’s Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Minister, Nasrul Hamid will also be present to witness the event.
In January, Nepal signed a long-term agreement for the export of 10,000 MW of power to India, and jointly inaugurated three cross-border transmission lines during the two-day visit of External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar to the Himalayan nation.
