NEA directs hydropower projects to cut output amid monsoon surplus and transmission constraints

AI Summary

Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has been directed to reduce hydropower output amid a surplus of monsoon river flows and grid transmission constraints. The domestic power supply exceeds demand, while export capacity is limited, causing operational strain on the grid.

Rising river flows have pushed generation beyond domestic demand, forcing the power utility to curtail production as transmission bottlenecks and limited export capacity strain the grid.
