20 Hydel Projects Granted Power Generation License
Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

November 3: The government has granted hydro-power generation license to 20 projects including small and big within the seven months of this year. The power generation license has been provided to 3MW Miltikhola Hydro-electricity project to 400 MW Kali Gandaki Hydro-electricity.

Among those projects, two projects were granted license in the two months period of mid-April/mid-June whereas in mid-June/mid-July, three projects were provided license. Similarly, the government distributed power generation license to the six projects in mid-July/mid-August. Likewise, the government has issued license for three projects in mid-August/mid-September and mid-September/mid-October each whereas only one project got power generation license till November 3. The government had distributed power generation license to only 17 projects in the same period of last year.  

Furthermore, the number of projects receiving production survey license within the seven months of this year has reached 22.

In a contrast, the government has not issued single Survey License for Transmission or Transmission Construction licenses in these seven months. According to stakeholders, the difference in distribution of power generation license and transmission license may create various problems in near future. For that matter, co-ordination between power development department which gives power generation permit and NEA which works as transmitter is essential.
