Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), founded on 16 August 1985, is the parent generator and distributor of electric power under the supervision of the government of Nepal.[2]
NEA owns Hydroelectric Plants connected to the grid amounting to 480 Megawatts. It also buys power from Independent Power Producers (IPP) amounting to 230 Megawatts. It operates two fuel operated plants generating 53 Megawatts of Electricity. The total capacity of the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) which NEA operates stands at 1095 Megawatts.[3] Various projects are underway to help meet the electricity demand but these have been plagued by delays.[4][5] However after many such delays Nepal has seen a positive change in electricity production and distribution. For the first time, NEA was in profit. Loadshedding was ended under the leadership of Kul Man Ghising.
