I want to convey my best wishes to all the employees of NEA and its consumers alike on this jubilant day. As a predominant player in the country's power sector, NEA has a crucial role to play to provide adequate and reliable electricity services to its consumers at an affordable price. Although with the introduction of Nepal Electricity Act, 1992, the country opened its power sector for private sector investment, and accordingly, a number of independent generation companies have added capacity of the Integrated Nepal Power System since then, NEA, being the sole state owned power utility, has a special position in country's power sector. In fact, sustenance of IPPs depends on NEA's health. Apart from energizing industries and other economic operations, NEA also serves as a medium in order for the Government to meet its obligations of equitable supply of electricity to as many consumers as possible by way of mainly rural electrification. Today, everyone of us involving in power sector is not in a comfortable position. Persistent load-shedding is really a bugbear. Although the problem might not have been solely due to our doings, it is now our responsibility to get rid of it. Whatever comes on our way, we must gird our loins to face it. The Ministry of Energy is preparing to establish a national Transmission Grid entity in order to prepare a non-discriminate highway for all power producers. Establishment of a power trading company may also be required soon in order to smoothen the process of power trading including the trading through long-term power purchase agreements. It has become almost certain that in a monsoon-hydro dominated power system as ours, trading and/or exchange of power with neighbouring country is inevitable. We are constantly working towards to conclude a power trade and transmission connection agreement with India. It is always good to start a work with considerable amount of discussion, but such discussion and debate should also have their limits. I feel that we already wasted valuable time in debating as to what is proper and what is not. They are segregated clearly when we start real work. We are again working on the new Electricity Bill and Nepal Electricity Regulatory Commission Bill, which remained in the previous parliament for a considerable length of time. We expect that great reforms will find their ways once these bills are enacted. We are prepared to make necessary decisions in order to remove all obstructions in the way to enhancing reliable and affordable electricity supply. In return, we want that no one questions NEA's project implementation capacity. Almost all of NEA's generation and transmission line projects that are under construction have undergone severe time overrun or cost overrun or both. Loss reduction is yet another area in which, I think, NEA should work hard. I see no reason why NEA's employees cannot overturn such situation. In the end, I would like to assure that a reform process by no means should adversely affect any one of NEA employees. I wish to congratulate all the NEA staff for their sincere efforts while performing their duties so far, and once again, wish that they would be successful in quest of their personal as well as organizational bright future.

Our efforts during the past fiscal year continued in aiming to function NEA on a sound commercial basis so as to make it capable of undertaking future challenges of development, and to provide our valued customers electricity of acceptable quality and affordable price. NEA is no more the sole player in the country’s power sector. With the emergence of the private sector enterprise, particularly in electricity generation, it is imperative that NEA improve its operational efficiency not only for its sustenance but also equally if not more for the development of Nepal’s power sector. On this occasion, I would like to take this opportunity to affirm our commitment to perform better and deliver better results in the days to come. With this note, I now present my report on the activities of NEA during past fiscal year 2013/14. Operational Performance The annual peak power demand of the Integrated Nepal from the IPPs, operation of costly diesel plants and all Power System (INPS) in fiscal year 2013/14 is estimated possible import under power exchange agreement and to be 1,201 MW, with 410 MW power estimated to power trade with India. Till the supply capability of NEA have been shed. Out of the 791 MW of power actually power system is substantially improved, I regret to say supplied, 436.4 MW was contributed by NEA hydro, 22 that load shedding is NEA’s compulsion.
