Nepal has restarted 40MW of electricity exports to Bangladesh through India's transmission network. The new supply uses the Solu Khola and Kabeli B1 plants, replacing the flood-damaged Trishuli and Chilime hydropower facilities.
Cross-border electricity trade in South Asia can shape power supply and prices in the region. Shifts in these flows can affect energy costs for households and businesses far beyond the source countries.
Track updates on repairs to the Trishuli and Chilime plants and on Nepal-Bangladesh-India energy trade agreements.
