Almost all sectors of Nepali economy have been interrupted, directly or indirectly, by the coronavirus crisis. Nepal’s energy sector also faces a tough challenge during this demanding time. The overall energy demand has dropped due to closure of transportation, industrial and service sectors. There has been as much as 70 % decline in the imports of petrol, diesel and aviation turbine fuels (ATF) fuels from India. There are no imports of kerosene and ATF, while that of LPG has decreased by around 34 % from last month. Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has also reported a decline of about 20-25 % in peak demand and around 30-35 % drop in energy demand in the period after lockdown. Under-construction hydropower plants of Independent Power Producers (IPP) also face a tough test ahead. The situation should improve once the economy revives, but uncertainty looms large in the absence of proper plan and policy. Role of Nepal Oil Corporation (NOC)
