Lirpa Olof Palme

Oslo, March 31:

Throw
away candles. Put out your lamps. Junk your battery powered Chinese
emergency lights and of course lock up your generators.
From a power
deficit country Nepal should soon be a power surplus country, all in a
couple of months. Rejoice! The Nepali delegation currently in Europe is
signing MOUs including a nuclear power deal with some select European
nations. The MOUs involve generation of 10,000 mega watts of power in
the next two months. "This is a miracle. I cannot believe that this is
happening," said a member of the delegation which is in Europe now.
The
agreements essentially mean that the government of Nepal is putting all
power projects, including hydro and nuclear on fast track. "The idea is
to make sure that Nepal becomes power surplus from power deficient
country in two months," said the official who is involved in
formalising these landmark deals.
Interestingly, Nepal and Norway
signed an MOU on developing together hydropower sector yesterday.
Gyanchandra Acharya, Foreign Secretary of Nepal, and Deputy Secretary
General Atle Leikvoll, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Norway, signed the
MoU in the presence of Prime Minister Pushpa Kamal Dahal and Norway's
Minister for Environment and International Development Erik Solheim.
The
MoU will among other things focus on hydropower development and rural
electrification for economic growth. Emphasis will be placed on
environmental management. Norway will provide assistance through
programme and budgetary support.
According to Bijuli Kumar, a senior
official of Nepal Electricity Authority, the deals come as a real boon
as there were plans in the offing to increase the load shedding to 23
hours a day. "Thank god this happened. Lord Pashupathinath has finally
intervened and saved Nepal from darkness," he said, adding that the
load-shedding schedule has not been changed despite rainfall in few
parts of the country during the last few days. Kathmandu valley has
been facing 16-hour a day power-cut while the industrial areas have had
12-hour a day, the official said.
According to the figures given by
the NEA, this year in normal course there will be 600 MW in summer and
402 MW in winter whereas the demand will be 720 MW in summer and 900 MW
in dry season. This in turn means the load shedding would have
continued all throughout the year. But thanks to the new MOUs the
situation will change during the next two months, making Nepal the only
power surplus country in South Asia along with Bhutan. If things go as
planned, Nepal will export 5,000 MW to India and China by the end of
June, claimed beaming Bijuli Kumar.

Look at the author of the article: Lirpa Olof Palme. Olof Palme is the long ago assassinated Swedish PM. Lirpa is April spelled backwards.
