KATHMANDU, Sept 20: Managing Director of Nepal Electricity Authority, Kulman Ghising, has said that the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) of ROR projects with a capacity of 1,500 megawatts will be opened within a few days.

During the meeting with the officials of the Independent Power Producers’ Association Nepal (IPPAN), Managing Director Ghising said that he has completed all the studies and submitted them to the Board to open the process. He said that the next Board Meeting of the NEA will discuss and take a decision on this. 

Managing Director Ghising informed that the PPA of ROR, which will be opened now, will be designed in Q40. "If someone wants to go to Q25 later, they may go," said Ghising. 

IPPAN Chairman Krishna Prasad Acharya demanded that the Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) of ROR projects should be disclosed immediately. IPPAN has provided for the opening of the PPA, which has been stalled for the past three and a half years, but has not been opened yet. It has been about a month and a half since the report was passed by the decision of the Minister of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation.
