MANIFESTO : 2018
We shall strive to achieve a minimum power generation of 5,000MW by
the end of 2022. It would then increase the current 7% generation of total estimated potential to about 17%.
We shall complete the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for all hydropower projects that are techno-economically feasible.
We shall revise the Electricity Act to incorporate the changes that have taken place in the hydropower and power sector in general.
We shall revise electricity rate for domestic consumers.
We shall carry out timely and regular monitoring of critical glacial lakes and risk assessment.
We shall ensure adequate supply of power to power intensive industries to boost the private sector and create employment.
We shall develop local human resource capacity in the hydropower sector to take up skilled works. This would create employment opportunities for local skilled workforce.
