Nepal’s total electricity demand has reached 73,629 megawatt-hours (MWh), with the country currently meeting domestic requirements without importing power from India, according to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA).
The NEA said it is exporting 22,102 MWh of surplus electricity to India during the monsoon season, when hydropower generation is at its highest.
Private hydropower producers are supplying 47,563 MWh to the national grid, while NEA subsidiaries contribute 17,108 MWh. The NEA’s own power plants generate an additional 8,959 MWh, ensuring a stable electricity supply across the country.
During peak evening hours, Nepal’s electricity demand has reached 3,248 MW. Despite continuous rainfall in many parts of the country, the NEA said the national power system remains stable with no major supply disruptions.
To ensure uninterrupted service, the authority has deployed technical teams on standby around the clock for emergency maintenance. Response teams have been stationed at all seven provincial offices and in Kathmandu to restore power promptly in the event of any outages.
The NEA said the current power surplus has enabled Nepal to maintain reliable domestic supply while expanding electricity exports, reinforcing the country’s growing role in regional energy trade.
