October 28: The Independent Power Producers' Association, Nepal (IPPAN) will be organising Power Summit 2016 on December 15-16. The Association on October 27 amid a press conference informed about the event on the country’s power sector.  According to IPPAN, the power summit 'Kathmandu, Nepal Power Summit 2016' will be focused on analysis of the government's strategy to generate 10,000 MW of electricity. The upcoming event is the fifth edition of the Power Summit.

In the press conference, Khadga Bahadur Bisht, President of IPPAN informed that the summit will hold discussions regarding dimensions of hydropower development in Nepal. He said "We want to support the government for the sustainable development of hydropower sector in a bid to successfully implement the work-plan on elimination of the impending energy crisis." He cited  targets such as producing 10,000 MW of electricity in 10 years, construction of cross-border transmission lines, electricity sector improvement program, establishment of National Transmission Grid Company, Power Trade Agreement (PTA) with India, project development agreements with foreign developers as few positive steps taken for the development of the power sector.

According to Bisht, the Power Summit has been beneficial for the development of the power sector of Nepal. As per the analysis of IPPAN, there is a challenge of generating 10,000MW of electricity in next 10 years as the country has been generating only a minimal energy since a long period. "Thus, we have developed a slogan '10,000 MW by the Sunset', said Bisht.

I fully support this power summit. We would be able to generate 25,000 MW in 5-7 years.
