Nepal is very rich in water resources. The potential amount of hydropower generation according to experts is around 83,000 MW but only 1/2 of that or 42,000 MW can be feasibly exploited. The actual production is lot lower (around 1% of 42,000 MW). According to a recent news story, "The country's run-of-river projects that can produce 440 MW in total when run at full capacity produced only 230 MW Saturday due to a sharp decline in water level in the rivers. The peak demand these days is 640 MW. The power availability at the moment is owed to 40 MW produced by the country's thermal plants and 85 MW being imported from India."
