Power outage in Nepal reaches 14 hours per day (2)

None of the measures, however, were implemented, which resulted in a power outage of 14 hours a day.

Last year, power outage in the water-resource rich country had reached 16 hours a day and it is feared that the same problem would occur again, if the suggested measures are not executed.

It is said that Nepal has the potentials of generating more than 80,000 MW of hydro-electricity through its snow-fed rivers flowing through the mountains.

In a commercial scale, producing at least 45,000 MW of hydro- electricity is possible, according to the experts.
