Hydropower Investment; The Future of Nepalese Investment.

      Hydropower, hydraulic power or water power is power that is derived from the force or energy of moving water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes. Prior to the development of electric power, hydropower was used for irrigation and operation of various machines, such as watermills, textile machines.

      If  We more effectively harnessed our 83,000 megawatts of hydropower potential,We could meet our domestic demand for electricity, as well as export electricity and potentially transform the economy. Lack of electricity is a major constraint to economic development and poverty alleviation. Currently, We are harnessing less than 1 percent of our potential hydropower energy and the country depends on biofuels (mainly wood ) to meet our energy needs.Nepal has developed only approximately 650 MW of hydropower. Therefore, bulk of the economically feasible generation has not been realized yet. Besides, the multipurpose, secondary and tertiary benefits have not been realized from the development of its rivers.  

      The construction of dams to convert the potential energy of water into work has a long history. For many countries with abundant water resources or strong river flows, hydroelectricity has been the method of choice to source cheap and reliable electricity. Hydroelectricity has some key advantages over other energy sources.

•   The technology is simple (build a dam with a turbine to convert the flow into electrical current).
• The plants can be constructed in various scales (from a small river generator to mega projects like the Three Gorges Dam).
•  There is no fuel cost (a substantial part of the generation costs in electricity from fossil fuels, less so in nuclear power). Hydroelectric generation is not affected by rising prices for oil, gas or coal and lignite.

      Energy crisis will be the big problem for the development of Economic growth .It is not only our Crisis but of course The Global Crisis, including our two big neighbor Economy, India and china. If we generate only 5000 MW within 10 yrs and export it in India and China, Every Nepalese Will benefit and will be four times Stronger then the Current status. Every Nepalese around the globe willing to have Big Hydropower Company Shares in Nepal, to be more secure and of course to Create, a Global Value of our recourses. Reminding all of you, only Rs. 82.56 Crore. Paid up company called Chilime Hydropower Company profit Rs. 84.50 Cr. with more than Rs 300 Cr. in Reserve, Previous fiscal year.... 

                             ........Think it Twice.... Good luck!!
