Speaking on the occasion of 24th anniversary of the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Monday, NEA Managing Director Dr Jivendra Jha said that leakage and high export cost had caused the loss. He said that NEA has borne an overall loss of Rs 12.33 billion. He further said that the NEA has not increased the electricity tariff for the past 9 years. He said that even when the cost per unit has reached Rs 9.50, the NEA is charging only Rs 6.71 to its consumers.
