    October 8, 2018 Sonja Derkum Alfredo Abad Head of Complaints Mechanism Deputy Head of Complaints Mechanism European Investment Bank European Investment Bank Email: [email protected] Email: [email protected] Via Electronic Mail Sub: Complaint and request for mediation regarding the Nepal Power System Expansion Project (including the 220 kV Marsyangdi Corridor Transmission Line) European Investment Bank Project # 2013-0599 Dear Ms. Derkum and Mr. Abad: We, the Free Prior and Informed Consent (“FPIC”) and Rights Forum (the “FPIC & Rights Forum”) from Lamjung district of Nepal hereby submit a request for mediation to the Complaints Mechanism regarding the European Investment Bank (“EIB”) funded 220 kV Marsyangdi Corridor high voltage transmission line (the “220 kV Marsyangdi Corridor”) and associated hydropower sector development in the region1. The 220 kV Marsyangdi Corridor is part of the EIB funded Nepal Power System Expansion Project2 (“Nepal PSEP”). The Nepal PSEP is a necessary and integral part of planned hydropower sector development in the region, providing a way to transport electricity from the region towards Kathmandu and India. The FPIC & Rights Forum is a collective of Indigenous and other local peoples in Lamjung district, who are affected by maladministration in the Nepal PSEP, and associated projects.3 While our primary ask from the Complaints Mechanism is mediation, if a collaborative process is not possible or concludes without resolution of our issues, then the Complaints Mechanism should initiate a robust compliance review investigation. We urge you to commence a mediation process as soon as possible. Construction of the 220 kV Marsyangdi Corridor is slated to start soon or may have started already in some places.
