KATHMANDU, April 6: In the eighth edition of the Power Summit, a Memorandum of Understanding for the direct purchase of electricity will be signed between the promoters of the Nepali hydropower projects and Indian buyers.

On the occasion of the Power Summit, which will be held in April, both parties will sign an agreement on the purchase and sale of electricity.

Ashish Garg, vice president of the Independent Power Producers Associations of Nepal (IPPAN) and coordinator of the Summit, said that there will be a direct electricity purchase and sale agreement between Nepal's hydroelectricity promotion companies and Indian buyers at the power summit. "At the Summit, other agreements and memorandums of understanding will be signed for the development of renewable energy and market expansion," he said.

Vice President Garg said that to open the door to export electricity produced in Nepal to India, the private sector should be allowed to trade electricity. "The Power Summit is organized with the hope of bringing in investment in Nepal's energy sector and opening the door to electricity trade," he said.

The Power Summit 2023 is being held in the capital on April 18-19 at the initiative of IPPAN, the umbrella organization of private power producers in the country.

IPPAN President Krishna Prasad Acharya said that 15 sessions will be conducted in the Power Summit covering Nepal's electricity market, transmission infrastructure, Nepal's hydropower demand, technology and innovation, solar, hydrogen, regulatory bodies, international electricity trade, and sustainable and climate-friendly development.

At the Summit, projects with a total capacity of 5,000 megawatt from the Investment Board Nepal and the private sector will be showcased as a project bank on environmental, social and good governance, regional cooperation and energy security issues. "It will be an important opportunity for investors to discuss and understand energy projects for investment," he said.
