The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has warned of taking action against customers who have failed to clear outstanding electricity dues for power supplied through dedicated feeders and trunk lines.
Issuing a public notice, the NEA has urged consumers with pending dues from mid-January 2016 to mid-May 2018 to settle their payments within the stipulated deadline.
The authority has also instructed its regional and division offices to intensify efforts to recover outstanding amounts. The move follows findings that some consumers had stopped paying installments and were only settling their regular monthly bills despite repeated notices.
According to the notice, all consumers—whether they are using installment facilities or not (except those protected by interim court orders)—must continue to pay their dues. Failure to do so within the given timeframe will lead to action under the Electricity Tariff Collection Regulation, 2078 BS.
The NEA has further directed its offices nationwide to issue mandatory notices to defaulters in their respective areas and report progress to the central office.
