20-yr plan eyes 36K MW power. MYREPUBLICA.com
REPUBLICA
KATHMANDU, July 15: The government has brought out an ambitious report showing the possibility of generating 36,628 MW hydroelectricity in the country within the next 20 years.The report includes a proposal to generate 2,057 MW within five years to address the load-shedding crisis facing Nepalis at present.
The report prepared by a taskforce on 20-Year Hydropower Development Plan Formulation claimed that the target figure will be attainable through the completion of three mega multi-purpose projects -- Pancheshwar, Karnali-Chisapani and Saptakoshi -- within the 20-year span. Without including these three projects, the country will be able to generate 20,354 MW.The report breaks down that figure into 2,057 MW by 2015, 12,423 MW by 2020, 5,114 MW by 2025 and another 18,034 by 2030.

India says no to end IOC monopoly in Nepal. MYREPUBLICA.com
MILAN MANI SHARMA
KATHMANDU, Feb 26: India has turned down Nepal government’s request to end Indian Oil Corporation’s (IOC’s) monopoly in supplying petroleum products to Nepal. This has closed options for Nepal to induct alternate fuel suppliers for Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC).
“Officially, India is yet to respond to our call to open oil export (to Nepal) to all Indian refineries and oil marketing companies (OMCs). But unofficially, it has already said no,” said a highly placed government source.
However, if Nepal opened fuel imports to the private players, it (India) has said it would allow IOC to export petrol and diesel to them. This means even while promising exports to the private sector, India has said IOC will not be exporting kerosene and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to them.
“Kerosene and LPG are exports restricted items in India. Hence, it is not willing to give privilege to the private sector -- something that it has been providing to NOC, its three-decade long trading partner,” said a highly placed source.
Such a response from India has jeopardized government’s plan to allow NOC to source fuel from other Indian petroleum giants as well.
The Essar Group that operates largest private sector refinery and Bharat Petroleum, the public sector entity, of India had recently shown interest to supply fuel to Nepal. Buoyed by their interest, the government had formally requested to India to end the over three-decade long monopoly of IOC in fuel supply to Nepal.
“The plan has received a severe setback,” said the source. That is not all. Officials argued that India’s denial could seriously affect Nepal’s plan to open petroleum imports to the private sector.
“How can we expect Nepali private sector to jump in the trade, particularly of kerosene and gas, if India is not ready to open exports or pledge its logistics support to facilitate imports at port?”
Such doubts surfaced mainly after India, in yet another request of Ministry of Commerce and Supplies, refused to allow a Nepali LPG importer use storage facility and take technical support of Indianoil Petronas Private Limited (IPPL) in Haldiya.
A newly established local company named Chandi Lumbini had sought permission to use the facility and expertise of the IPPL in Haldiya port while importing gas from the third country. The ministry had also requested the Indian government to extend all possible support to it.
“Unfortunately, India’s response is negative,” said the source.
IOC has been supplying fuel to Nepal since 1974, when Nepal and India inked a Petroleum Supply Agreement to start a formal petroleum trade between the two countries.
The agreement designates IOC as the sole exporter of petroleum products to Nepal and NOC as the petroleum import monopolist for Nepal. In case the respective governments wish to change this arrangement, they need to notify each other.
“But given the situation that unfolded of late, it seems mere notification will not help Nepal to move ahead with its liberalization program,” said the source.
Nepal’s petroleum market stands at about Rs 48 billion per annum and NOC projects it to grow to Rs 60 billion in this fiscal year

Financing ensured for Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project (UTKHEP).
REPUBLICA
With the confirmation of Rastriya Beema Sansthan (RBS) to invest Rs 2 billion in the Upper Tamakoshi Hydroelectric Project (UTKHEP), the required financing of Rs 22 billion has been lined up paving the way for the commencement of the project beginning June. At a time when Nepalis are enduring 11-hours of load-shedding everyday, the confirmation by RBS comes as a welcome relief. Once completed, the highly-attractive and low-cost 456-MW project will play a big part in easing Nepal’s power woes. Nepal’s present power demand stands at about 1,000 MW but the existing hydro-power projects have a combined capacity to generate just about 700 MW. Factor in leakages (25 percent of the production capacity) and annual growth in demand (about 10 percent) and it gives a sense of how urgent it is for us to bring projects such as UTKHEP and Upper Karnali Hydropower Project (UKHP) into operation as quickly as possible.
An uninterrupted supply of power is vital for the growth of the economy. When companies and industries have to resort to alternate sources of energy to run their businesses, it eats into their profits by taking up their operational costs. This is a big deterrent to entrepreneurs who have already invested huge amounts of money in businesses or are planning to do so. The manufacturing sector is especially hit hard by power cuts. At a time when it is crucial for us to ensure the rise of this sector—its contribution to the economy presently is dismal to say the least—the power scenario as it exists today is crippling its growth. That is also exactly the reason why the Maoists should think twice before needlessly voicing their protests against hydro projects such as the 300-MW UKHP. They must remember that these projects, once complete, will become the lifelines of our economy.
While new mega projects are essential to meet our long-term needs, we should also encourage the development of small and medium-scale projects to meet our short- and medium-term needs. What is equally essential is to ‘unbundle’ (gradual reforms ultimately leading to privatization) Nepal Electricity Authority. While we have allowed the entry of Independent Power Producers, we also need to gradually allow competition in the distribution service. It is only such competition that will ensure quality.
Coming to UTKHEP, it is the largest project being commissioned solely by domestic investors. The success or the failure of the project will indicate whether or not Nepalis have the capacity to work together for a larger good. Since our pride is at stake, it is imperative for us to weather all odds and complete the project on time.

Welcome Essar's proposal. MYREPUBLICA.com
REPUBLICA
The proposal presented by Essar Oil Limited, which has the second largest oil refinery in India, to the government of Nepal to induct it as an alternative fuel supplier for Nepal is encouraging. The government must welcome the company with open arms, because doing so will break the long-standing monopoly of Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) -- it being the sole supplier of fossil fuel to Nepal. It is true that IOC has been supporting Nepal through thick and thin, however, monopoly in any market comes at a price that may not always be in favor of the consumers. Hence, the government must end the monopoly by allowing another oil supplier to cater to the Nepali market.
Ending the monopoly of a supplier spurs competition among suppliers to supply goods at the lowest possible rates, ensuring better quality and consistency of supply. In the absence of competition, Nepali petroleum consumers have long suffered.
An overhaul of the nation’s fuel supply mechanism is also necessary if we consider the various high-level government-formed commissions formed in the past which pin-pointed that by importing crude oil Nepal can lower its import cost by 10 percent as opposed to directly purchasing refined oil from IOC.
However, we would like to stress that introduction of a new petroleum supplier alone will not straighten things out for Nepal. And this is where the issue of reforms in NOC and also the petroleum sector as a whole comes in.
While the government needs to act strongly to plug leakages at the corporation, it must also take steps to raise its level of competence level to handle international deals, local inventory management, distribution network and quality control. Enhancing its efficiency at all levels is a must. And this will not be a reality until and unless NOC is subjected to competition. The corporation’s past activities have long proven that the institution will not improve until and unless it is forced to do so. Unfortunately, a bill to end its monopoly by opening petroleum imports to the private sector has long gathered dust in the cabinet in the absence of leaders’ political will to end petty politicking on petroleum prices. This must change. The government should welcome the private sector. Likewise, the dual role that NOC is playing at present as an Oil Marketing Company (OMC) and sectoral regulatory authority should end. Its function should be confined to that of an OMC. And a separate independent, competent, well-equipped and autonomous Petroleum Authority must be set up to regulate the sector. Only will this pave way to ensure fair play in the market and protect the consumers and the country.

Hydropower Less Than 700 MW In 98 Years! The Rising Nepal
Friday Supplement: 2009-11-06 21:51:43
Yogesh Pokharel
It has been about 100 years since the Chandra Jyoti Power House, the first power houses of Nepal, was installed in Pharping, Kathmandu in 1911. Built with the financial support of the British Government, the 500 Kw Chandra Jyoti Power House was also one of the oldest hydro power projects in Asia. Running for 70 years successfully, the historic power house was shut down in 1981 after the water used for the plant was diverted for drinking purpose. Even now, this plant can be restarted if the supply of water is made possible.
But, unfortunately in these 100 years less than 700MW of hydropower has been generated in the country. None of the government formed after the installation of the first hydropower station seriously thought about exploiting the water resources available in abundance in the country in a proper way.

Jomsom under climate change threat. MYREPUBLICA.com
AKANSHYA SHAH
RAXAUL, Nov 15: People in the remote district of Mustang have been experiencing the worst nightmares in terms of the effects of climate change in their livelihoods and economy. This year, the Jomsom valley saw no snowfall in the town area and no rainfall at all. The maximum temperature rose to 27 degree Celsius in comparison to 24 degrees last year. Similarly, the minimum temperature was recorded at 13 degrees, whereas in previous years, the temperature usually dipped to less than minus four degrees. The temperature fluctuation has also had an adverse effect on the snow fall pattern.
Alarmingly, the snow-line has gradually been moving up to an altitude of 5,000 meters, thereby leaving mountain rocks bare. Since snow is melting fast, tree lines are moving up as well.

Fuel crisis deepens in eastern region. MYREPUBLICA.com
AJIT TIWARI
BIRATNAGAR, Nov 14: Petroleum crisis has deepened in the eastern region as all refilling stations in the region have remained closed from the last four days due to the strike called by the workers affiliated with Unified CPN (Maoist). The number of vehicles plying on the road has gone down sharply and the talks meditated by the Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC) and local administration to end the strike have failed repeatedly.
All Nepal Petroleum Workers Union enforced closure of 450 dealers operating in the region, demanding the dealers to permanently appoint workers who have worked for 240 days.Transporters said the strike has affected their business badly. “Fuel we had on stock too has dried up. Now no passenger buses will ply on the road,” an official of Koshi Zonal Bus Entrepreneurs Association (KZBEA) told myrepublica.com.“Due to fuel shortage, 75 percent of vehicles are already stranding in garage.”

NEA to give NT 10% in Upper Tamakoshi- PM briefed on 3 hydro projects. MYREPUBLICA.com
AKANSHYA SHAH
KATHMANDU, Nov 7: After a month-long disagreement over equity participation, Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has finally agreed to provide 10 percent equity shares to Nepal Telecom (NT) in the 456-MW Upper Tamakoshi hydroelectric project. The decision to this effect was taken at a meeting organized to brief Prime Minister Madhav Kumar Nepal on the project at Singha Durbar on Friday.
During the briefing, the PM directed NEA to work toward the financial closure of the project. According to the sources present in the meeting, NEA had to give in to NT´s demand as Minister for Information and Communications Shankar Pokharel had directed NT not to invest in the project unless equity shares worth the investment were provided to it. He had cited poor management and over-politicization of NEA as reasons behind such a stand.
“NEA is willing to award up to 10 percent equity participation to Telecom as per its stance,” an NEA official told myrepublica.com, adding, “The formal decision to this effect will be taken soon.”
