Energy is a critical resource necessary for a country's economic development. Despite this, many nations struggle to generate enough energy to meet their economic goals.

The growing interest of neighboring investors in Nepal’s hydropower reaffirms that energy is an area where all the countries of South Asia have much to gain through cooperation, and  Nepal’s surplus electricity would fulfill their power demands at a considerable level. It would support transforming Nepal’s economy in a new horizon by fulfilling Nepal's dreams of earning hydro dollars.
