Issues in Hydro Power Project Development in Nepal • What the Hydro Project developer looks for? • Good infrastructure to and at site • Flexibility to create the same, may be on a selective basis • Availability of necessary approvals / clearances within reasonable time and efforts • Simple & clear regulations, acting as ‘FACILITATOR’ rather than ‘OBSTRUCTOR’ • Clear and simple tax regime • Decent law and order situation • Supportive and facilitating Government at the centre and also at the district level • Availability of Competitive financing options • Are all these currently available in Nepal ? • The intent and will of the Government to create this enabling mix is critical • Developers have the will to implement and execute • All they need is SUPPORT’ and an ‘ENABLING ENVIRONMENT’ • Nepal’s dream of achieving 10000 MW, requires some serious considerations on the above
Key Constraints in Hydro Power Project Development in Nepal • Lack of infrastructure (Access roads, Transmission links) • Clearly defined Policy and Regulations • Should be free from any ambiguity • Long term protection against ‘Change in Law’ • Approvals and Clearances in a timely manner • Supply of construction materials & machinery • Conducive law and order situation • Adequate availability of : • Construction Agencies and Engineering / EIA Consultants • Support services like Survey and Investigation agencies etc. • Skilled Hydro Manpower Resources • Situation is likely to reach alarming proportions in coming years • Evacuation of Power: • Licensing / Right of Way for transmission lines • Connectivity with Indian Grid – Regulatory / Technical issues • Sale of Power in India: • Long term / short term Open access • Tariff mechanism

Requests to Govt. of Nepal • Select few large Hydro Power Projects: • Serious development on >3000 MW of Projects - Upper Tamakoshi, Upper Karnali, Arun III, West Seti, Upper Marsyangdi, Tamakoshi II & III, Likhu etc. • Declare them as ‘National Priority Projects’ • Proactively build access roads to identified Project sites • Allow Developers to build Infrastructure before ‘Generation License’ • Create ‘Single Window Cell’ for hassle-free and expeditious clearances • Simplify Clearance procedure • Demand timely achievement of realistic and pre-agreed Project development and implementation milestones, from Developers • Proactive Govt. support on: • Land Acquisition / Right of Way • Rehabilitation and Resettlement • Availability of Explosives • Provide impetus to manufacturing inds. supplying goods to Hydro projects: • Need to explore creation of substantive indigenous capacity in Cement and Steel • Open G2G dialogue with Govt. of India: • High Voltage Transmission corridor and Grid connectivity / compatibility issues • Power exchange between countries on ‘Win-Win’ principles • Develop large Projects on PPP route 51
Requests to Govt. of Nepal • Licensing policy: • Integrated Basin development - Preference for developers of large Projects for additional projects in the same basin: • Why not look at ‘Swiss Challenge’ route for such projects? • Provide Fiscal benefits to improve ‘Investor Confidence’: • VAT exemption – already proposed in current year budget – a Welcome step • Restore Tax holiday provisions in Hydro Power • Liberalize dividend repatriation provisions for foreign investment • Generation License period – increase to 45 years • Deferment of royalty to improve financeability of long gestation Projects • Provide incentives to local industries in all areas of Hydro Power Support services • Local Civil Contractors and Equipment suppliers, • Survey and Investigation agencies, Transport and logistics service providers • Provide nation-wide boost to technical education • To promote young Nepalese Engineers • Simplify banking regulations • Clarity and consistency in Customs and import policies • Strengthen Legal, accounting and taxation system • Consultations with IPPs in framing Acts, policies for Power sector 51
