Notice (8): Undefined index: caption [APP/View/Articles/view.ctp, line 241]

November 15: Hydropower projects under 100MW capacity can now obtain the license from Department of Electricity Development (DoED) under Ministry of Energy. Upon the initiation of the mechanism, hydropower promoters have expressed their contentment on shortening of the, previously, lengthy licensing process.  "The licensing process which used to take 6-7 months will now conclude in 2-2.5 months. It will help to forward any project without delay," said, Pooja Dahal Neupane, Executive Director of Siddhakali Power.

The essential documents and procedure of providing detail presentation is same. However, the licensing procedure has significantly shortened," she added. Siddhakali Power is developing 75MW Trisuli Galchi hydropower project. The project obtained the license on October 17 from the department. In this regard, it has become the first hydropower project to get license from the department after amendment of the previous licensing mechanism. The amended regulation has authorised the department of providing license to the projects under 100MW.

"The department however has not provided any license for project survey," said Babu Raj Adhikari, Senior Divisional Engineer of the department. "The department might provide licenses to 4/5 projects under 25MW capacity and to 1/2 projects above 50 MW within a week."

Adikari informed that a project might obtain a license within a week given that the project submits all essential documents at once.
