A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

Message from the Chairman। feel elated while expressing these words as the Chairman
of Nepal Electricity Authority on the jubilant occasion of its
28th anniversary.

Nepal Electricity Authority, being the State owned power
utility, is undoubtedly the leader in the sector, and hence,
has a vital role in energizing the industrial growth and social
upliftment of the country. It is obvious that the decade long
armed conflict affected development of infrastructure
including that in the power sector resulting in today's gap
between demand and supply of electricity. The shortfall of
electricity could also be partially attributed to factors like anti
dam campaign and some confusion in the roles and
responsibilities of different agencies involved in the power
sector, which gained ground for past several years.

NEA needs to formulate and implement time-bound
comprehensive programs in order to ensure a balance
between demand and supply of electricity. People do not
expect a solution overnight, however, they certainly do have
a question as to when they will have round the clock sufficient
supply of electricity. In the context of present regulatory
regime of power sector development, NEA is not the sole
agency to resolve all the sectoral issues, but its role is crucial
in transmission and distribution, and also to amalgamate the
efforts of private sector in adding up country's generation
capacity.

We all know that all of NEA's generation projects that are
under construction have undergone severe time and cost
overrun problems. The situation has raised a question on the
capability of the utility in project implementation. Now, this
is already a time that NEA's personnel at every rung need to
ponder upon the problem and work towards altering a
general notion that being built up naturally in utility's disfavor.

The implementation of transmission lines in an unacceptably
slow pace is the most worrisome problem, which has
multifarious impacts. Spillage of NEA's own electricity, delay
in evacuation of IPPs' power and the like have detrimental
impacts not only on NEA's own financial health, but on almost
every sphere of country's life on account of shortage of
electricity. Hence, NEA should make concentrated and

2। Nepal Electricity Authority

concerted efforts in the development of transmission system,
and wherever possible, should also take support from the
private investors in its endeavors.

A 20% increment in retail tariff has improved NEA's financial
health to some extent, but this has not been enough even
to meet the utility's annual expenses, leave aside generating
additional capital for further investment. NEA should
transparently explain its efforts and results in the direction
of cost reduction of services rendered and control in system
losses. NEA should show what additional revenue it generated
through its efforts apart from that by retail tariff increase.
Only such convincing explanation could justify NEA's rate
case under consideration in the Electricity Tariff Fixation
Commission (ETFC).। am happy to note that NEA succeeded in restricting the
load shedding period to 12 hours per day against a widely
carried apprehension that it would remain for more than 16
hours per day in the driest months.। understand this was
made possible due to various efforts including additional
import, sound operation of the power system and careful
planning to ensure a completely filled Kulekhani reservoir at
the onset of the dry season.। am also pleased to note that NEA was able to reduce the
system losses by around 2% and has exhibited remarkable
improvement in its operational efficiency with
implementation of advance techniques.। am hopeful that
NEA will put its best efforts in the coming year for the utility's
better performance.

To conclude,। wish to congratulate all the NEA staff for their
sincere efforts while performing their duties in quest for

bright future.

Managing Director's Report

Considering the pending tariff adjustment for 11 years
and deteriorating financial health of NEA, Electricity
Tariff Fixation Committee (ETFC) approved to increase
NEA tariff by 20 percent in average which is effective
from Bhadral, 2069. Recent tariff increment is a
milestone for improving the financial health of NEA but
NEA Tariff level is still not matching with revenue
requirement of the utility. Therefore, in order to match
the cost of service and retail tariff level, three different
tariff proposals are submitted to ETFC (i) new tariff
adjustment (ii) cost plus tariff rates for dedicated feeders
to be supplied as un-interruptible supply, and (iii)
approval of a formula/ mechanism for annual tariff
adjustment.

For strengthening financial accounting and financial
management decision support system, NEA plans to
put in place an Enterprises Resources Planning (ERP)
based Integrated Financial Management Information
System (IFMIS) in order to provide the reliable and timely
information for decision-making. Accordingly, NEA
Institutional Strengthening Project (ISP) is currently
under implementation with the technical and financial
assistance from the World Bank. (NEA-ISP) has two
components, namely (i) Consultancy Service for
Accounting Framework Reform; ERP strategy and
development of Technical specification and supervision
of implementation of new Financial Accounting System
(FAS/IFMIS) and (ii) IFMIS implementation.

NEA's new organization structure is in place from the
month of Shrawan 2070 after NEA Board approved
report on "NEA organizational restructuring and
administrative reforms". Earlier, there were seven General। feel privileged to present this annual report on the activities and the
performances of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) for fiscal year 2012/13 on
the occasion of its 28th anniversary. Twenty-eight years long engagement
in this organization has enriched me with a great deal of insight on multitude
of issues, challenges, opportunities and possibilities of this organization.
On this occasion,। would like to take this opportunity to affirm our
commitment to perform better and deliver better results in the days to come
by taking necessary initiatives and putting best efforts.

The Year's Significant Events

Managers for different business groups such as Engineering
Services, Grid Development, Transmission Service and
Operation, Generation Operation and Maintenance,
Generation Construction, Distribution and Consumer Services
East and Distribution and Consumer Services West. Similarly,
there were three Deputy Managing Directors, one each for
Internal Audit, Finance and Administration, The new
organization structure in place has seven Deputy Managing
Directors (five Technical Deputy Managing Directors along
with two Deputy Managing Directors, one each for
Administration and Finance). One of the key characteristics
of new organization structure is the establishment of
"Community & RE Department" to streamline and expedite
community rural electrification programs. The new structure
will enable NEA to enhance its operational efficiency and
performance. Although the new organization structure is in
place from Shrawan 2070, this annual report presents the
activities carried out in FY 2012/13 as per the prevailing
organization structure then.

Considering supply options available, we had predicted
resorting to a maximum of 18 hours of load shedding per
day per consumer during the driest months of January,
February, March and April. However, we succeeded in
restricting the load shedding hours to 12 per day per
consumer. This was possible due to sound operation of the
power system, steps taken to ensure filling up of the Kulekhani
reservoir at the onset of the dry season, and also comparatively
a wet monsoon. Extended load shedding hours for the feeders
that reported high percentage of theft was also a contributing
factor. In addition, NEA resorted to all possible means to
minimize load shedding including purchase of all excess
energy from the Independent Power Producers (IPPs),
operation of costly diesel plants of Hetauda and Multifuel

plant of Duhabi and all possible import under power exchange
agreement and power trade with India. The power import
from India amounted to as high as 173 MW in FY 2012/13.

As per Load Shedding Minimization Program 2069 of Nepal
Government, NEA reached an agreement with Bihar State
Power Holding Corporation Ltd (BSPHCL) to purchase
additional power more than 50 MW at agreed rate.
Nine hydropower projects namely, Bijayapur -1 (4,410 kW),
Solar Power Station (640.8 kW), Siuri Khola (4,950 kW), Lower
Modi-1 (9,900 kW), Siprin Khola (9,650 kW), Chaku Khola
(1,500 kW), Middle Chaku (1,800 kW), Tadi Khola (Thaprek)
(5,000 kW) and Charnawoti Khola (3,520 kW) were
commissioned during fiscal year 2012/13. These projects with
an installed capacity of 41,370 kW, developed in the private
sector came on-stream to NEA's Integrated Nepal Power
System during fiscal year 2012/13.

After a gap of 24 years Budhi Gandaki Storage HEP (600 MW)
was taken up for further study in fiscal year 2009/10 and since
then NEA has been carrying out various activities as part of
the feasibility study. NEA carried out hydrological studies and
investigations, topographical survey including fixation of
survey control point monumentations, preliminary
environmental and social study. An agreement was signed
between Nepal Electricity Authority and M/S Tractebel
Engineering S.A., France on December 2, 2012 for consultancy
services for detailed engineering design and preparation of
tender documents and tender drawings. The duration of the
service is 30 months from the date of commencement of the
services. As per the decision of the Government of Nepal, this
project is now in the process of handing over to Budhi Gandaki
Development Committee formed by Nepal Government.

The draft report on Master Plan Study of Storage Hydropower
Projects by JICA has selected ten storage projects namely,
Chera-1 (148.7 MW), Lower Jhimruk (142.5 MW), Nalsyaugad
(400 MW), Naumure (245 MW), Lower Badighad (380.3 MW),
Andhikhola (180 MW), Dudhkoshi (300 MW), Kokhajor
(111.5MW), Sunkoshi-3 (536 MW) and Madi (199.8 MW) as
attractive out of 67 projects for development of other storage
type projects. The Final Report on these ten projects is due
in November 2013.

Since, the development of storage projects will provide a
long term solution to resolve the problem of imbalance
between supply and demand during wet and dry seasons,
Dudhkoshi Storage Hydroelectric Project (300 MW) has been
identified as one of the prospective and viable projects
among other storage projects for implementation in near
future. The project was initially identified during the
preparation of the "Master Plan Study on the Koshi River
Basin for Water Resources Development" funded by JICA in

March 1985. The feasibility study of the project was carried
out in 1998 by Medium Hydropower Study Project. For the
development of this project, Project Development
Department of NEA started preparatory works in fiscal year
2012/13 and plans to carry out the upgrading of the feasibility
study and detailed engineering design through International
Consultant in this fiscal year.

Similarly, the Project Development Department of NEA has
initiated the preparatory works for Detailed Engineering
Design of Upper Arun Hydropower Project (335 MW). On
2069/11/04 B.S., the Cabinet of Nepal Government gave
permission to Nepal Electricity Authority to implement Upper
Arun Hydroelectric Project under the Ownership of the
Government of Nepal. In order to expedite the
implementation of the project, the field team has been
mobilized to the site. NEA plans to carry out the Detailed
Engineering Design of this project in this fiscal year so that
the project will be implemented as earliest as possible. For
this, the process for selection of Consultant has already been
initiated.

For development of Tamakoshi V Hydropower Project (87
MW), the Project Development Department of NEA initiated
the preparatory works for the Detailed Engineering Design
in the last fiscal year and NEA plans to complete the Detailed
Engineering Design in this fiscal year so that the project will
be implemented as earliest as possible.

Upper Modi-A Hydropower Project(47 MW) is proposed to
be developed by NEA and K-Water of South Korea as per the
Joint Development Agreement (JDA) through a Special
Purpose Vehicle (SPV) with 20 % share ownership of NEA and
80 % share ownership of K-Water. In the meantime, K Water
has proposed a different Shareholding Structures with NEA-
60%, K- Water - 30% and Local Community - 10% which is
yet to be endorsed by the NEA Board. The preparation of Eol
and RFP document for the selection of International
Consultant for detailed engineering design is in final stage.

For the enhancement of cross boarder power exchange with
India, first cross border "400 kV Dhalkebar - Muzaffarpur
double circuit transmission line project has been initiated
with the support of the Indian Government. For this purpose,
a subsidiary company called Power Transmission Company
Nepal, PTCN has been created. The necessary ground works
have already been completed and the procurement activities
are in place for the implementation of this project. This cross-
border transmission line is expected to be in operation by
2015. With the import of 150 MW or more power through
this line, the imbalance of supply over the demand is expected
to lessen to some extent thereby reducing the amount of
load to be shed. There are number of hydropower projects

presently under construction both in the public sector as
well as in the private sector. After commissioning of all those
hydropower projects, substantial energy will be available as
surplus. With the 400 kV Dhalkebar - Muzaffarpur double
circuit cross border transmission line in place, this surplus
energy can be exported to India. Import at the time of deficit
and export at the time of surplus will ultimately lead to low
cost of electricity supply for NEA. The successful
implementation of the 400 kV Dhalkebar - Muzaffarpur double
circuit cross border transmission line will eventually open
the doors for the implementation of other cross border
transmission lines.

Electricity Distribution Regulation 2069 was passed and
Employees Regulation 2068 was amended.

A model document for Transmission Service Agreement (TSA)
was approved by the NEA Board in order to boost the
development of transmission line by private sectors.
Disputes on the claims by the Civil Contractor, in the Kali
Gandaki-A Hydropower Project were settled for full and final
through court settlement between NEA and the Contractor
and accordingly, all the court cases in Nepal and Italy have
been withdrawn.

Operational Performance

The annual peak power demand of the Integrated Nepal
Power System (INPS) in fiscal year 2012/13 is estimated to be
1,094.62 MW. Out of 1094.62 MW of peak demand, only 719.6
MW could be supplied and 375 MW was shed. Out of 719.6
MW supplied, 433 MW was contributed by NEA hydro, 10
MW by NEA thermal, 174.1 MW by IPP hydro, and 102.5 MW
by import. Compared to the preceding fiscal year's figure of
1,026.65 MW, the annual peak power demand of the INPS
registered a growth rate of 9.0 %.

Energy demand of INPS in fiscal year 2012/13 is estimated at
5,446.285 GWh, out of which only 4,218.135 GWh (77.45%)
could be supplied. The rest 1,228.15 GWh (22.55%) was
resorted to load shedding. Of the total supplied energy
volume, 3,467.93 GWh (82.56%) was contributed by domestic
generation and 792.52 GWh (17.44%) by import from India.
Domestic supply included 1,175.97 GWh (34.00%) from IPPs
and the rest 2,291.96 GWh (66.00%) was from NEA owned
power stations with a share of 2,273.14 GWh from hydro and
18.82 GWh from thermal. The energy demand of INPS in fiscal
year 2012/13 grew by 7.70 % over previous year's energy
demand.

The total energy sales including export to India increased by
3.83% to reach 3161.39 GWh in FY 2012/13. However, energy
sales to India declined to 3.72 GWh from 4.1 GWh in fiscal
year 2011/12.

A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

Decrease in NEA's system loss in fiscal year 2012/13 is quite
encouraging. NEA's system loss decreased by 1.34 percentage
points from the audited loss figure of 26.37% in fiscal year
2011/12 to 25.03 % in fiscal year 2012/13. This, we believe, is
the result of our continued efforts and measures taken on
curbing electricity theft. We are committed to intensifying
our efforts to bring down the system loss to an acceptable
level. For this support from the political parties, civil society
and the general public will also be solicited.

At the end of FY 2012/13, the total number of consumers
reached 2.59 million registering a growth rate of 14.34 % over
previous year's number of consumers. The domestic consumer
category continued to be the largest consumer category with
a share of 95.12% of total consumers. The industrial and other
remaining consumer categories combined accounted for
1.44% and 3.44% respectively of the total number of
consumers. However, in terms of sales the corresponding
shares are 44.05%, 36.95% and 19.0% of the total sales.

Financial Performance

Revenue from sale of electricity increased from NRs.20,518.40
million in FY 2011/12 to NRs.25,132.02 million in FY 2012/13.
Net sales revenue after rebate amount of NRs 532.55 million
amounted to NRs.24,599.47 million. Income from other
services such as surcharge, dividend, lease rent, interest, sale
of goods and service charge amounted to NRs.1,609.20
million. NEA's total income increased by 20.31% over previous
year's total income to reach NRs. 26,208.67 million.

NEA's total operating expenses increased by 12.46 % over
previous year's figure of NRs. 22,293.41 million to reach NRs.
25,071.55 million. The power purchase expenses continued
to be the largest component of the total operating expenses.
The power purchase expenses in FY 2012/13 amounted to
NRs. 13,495.48 million and accounted for 53.82% of the total
operating expenses and 51.49% of the total income.
Additional power purchase from India and agreed price
escalation primarily contributed to the rise in power purchase
costs. In addition to that, devaluation of Nepalese currency
against US Dollar in respect of some PPAs made in USD also
had an impact on the increased power purchase cost. NEA
spent significant amount of resources in the maintenance
and rehabilitation of its generating stations to increase the
availability and reliability.

The interest costs on long-term borrowings increased by
9.69% over the previous year's figure to reach NRs.4,262.03
million. Similarly, annual depreciation charge on fixed assets
increased by 1.05% to reach NRs.3,209.06 million in FY
2012/13.

A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

Despite the significant increase in total revenue, total expenses
exceeded the total revenue in fiscal year 2012/13 and NEA
incurred a net loss of NRs. 4,565.48 million.

Even with the significant amount of old outstanding dues
recovered during FY 2012/13, the total receivables at the end
of FY 2012/13 stood at NRs 7,949.77 million, which is
equivalent to sales revenue of 110 days. Of the total
receivables, street light dues of different municipalities
outstanding from FY 2009/10 to FY2012/13 and of VDCs
outstanding from FY 2011/12 to FY 2012/13 amounted to
NRs. 1,582 million.

NEA completed various distribution system reinforcement
and rural area electrification projects in FY 2012/13 resulting
in capitalization of NRs.3,895 million in property, plant and
equipment. At the end of the FY 2012/13, net carrying amount
of NEA's property, plant and equipment reached to
NRs.86,251.65 million which is 65.55 % of total non-current
assets.

Capital work in progress, the second largest component of
non-current assets, stood at NRs. 39,540.05 million at the end
of FY 2012/13. The ongoing major hydroelectric projects,
namely Chameliyagadh (30 MW), Kulekhani Ill (14 MW), Upper
Trishuli 3A (60 MW) and Rahughat (32 MW) and various
transmission networks of different voltage level contributed
to increase in capital work in progress. During FY 2012/13,
NEA invested NRs. 13,634.60 in various projects as capital
works. The investment in capital works was made through
government equity, foreign grants and loan through GoN
and NEA's internal cash generation.

NEA's investment in subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures
and others reached NRs. 5,776.51 millions at the end of FY
2012/13. In FY 2012/13 NEA invested NRs. 93.33 million in
Sanjen Hydro Power Company Limited, NRs. 30 million in
Mid Bhotekoshi Hydro Power Company and NRs1.06 million
in Rasuwagadhi Hydro Power Company Limited, all promoted
by Chilime Hydro Power Company Limited (UTKHPL), a
subsidiary of NEA. In FY 2012/13, NEA invested NRs. 495
million as equity in the Upper Tamakoshi Hydro Power
Company Limited and total investment reached NRs. 4,185
millions at the end of FY 2012/13. NEA holds 41% of the total
equity in UTKHPL and has completed the full payment of its
equity shares.

The long term borrowings, the main source of project
financing, increased from NRs. 68,909.20 million in FY 2011/12
to reach NRs.79,333.97 million at the end of FY 2012/13.
During the year, NEA repaid the borrowings of NRs. 1,500
million towards the cost of "NEA Power Bond, 2069" secured
against lien of NEA's equity shares in Chilime Hydropower

Company Ltd. Likewise, NEA repaid the whole amount of
short-term borrowings of NRs. 2,000 million taken from local
banks. However, NEA borrowed NRs. 1,200 million as short
term loans from local banks to meet working capital
requirement for FY 2012/13.

During FY 2012/13, NEA received NRs. 4,547.07 million from
the Government of Nepal as equity investment in various
generation, transmission and distribution projects. NEA also
received NRs.279.69 million as reimbursement for losses
incurred on energy imports from India to reduce power cuts
during dry season of FY 2012/13. Similarly, NRs. 277.82 million
was received from the Government of Nepal as subsidies
against fuel for thermal plants. As per the instruction of GoN,
these amounts have been accounted as GON equity.

Development Activities

NEA's electricity supply position is far from satisfactory to
meet the ever increasing demand, thus compelling NEA to
resort to heavy load shedding. To overcome this imbalance
of supply over demand, as well to keep pace with the annual
demand growth presently averaging at 8.5 %, NEA is
undertaking the construction of number of hydropower
projects. Quite a few are being developed through NEA's
subsidiary and associate companies. The private sector has
also a role to contribute. Extension of the transmission grid
and the distribution network are also NEA's responsibilities.
Construction of Kulekhani-3 Hydroelectric Project (14 MW)
is in good progress. So far, the overall progress of 67 % has
been achieved. The original construction period was 44
months including mobilization, testing and commissioning.
Due to various reasons the project period has been extended
for another 30 months with the revised completion date set
for September 13, 2014. Much of the civil works activities in
the headwork area has already been completed except for
the river crossing works. The excavation of headrace tunnel
is completed. The concrete lining works for the tunnel is
going on in full swing. The concreting of the substructure of
powerhouse has already been started after completion of
the foundation strengthening works. Diffusers for the
powerhouse tailrace outlet have already been installed at
the powerhouse site and other electromechanical works
including the finalization of the drawings, fabrication,
transportation and installation are currently going on, both
at the site as well as in China.

Chameliya Hydrolectric Project (30 MW) has achieved 87%
of physical progress so far even with numerous problems.
Towards civil works, 90.24% of the dam construction works
has been completed. Similarly, 90.85 % of intake, 100% of
connecting tunnel, 83.29% of de-sanding basin, 94% of adit
tunnel and 68% of the headrace tunnel (excluding squeezing
portion) has been completed. The progress of power house,

surge tank, penstock and tail race construction stands at 99%,
71%, 63% and 99% respectively. The overall progress of civil
works is 90.24%. The progress of headrace tunnel encountered
the squeezing problem of maximum 40% (in diameter)
between Adit 2 d/s and Adit 3 u/s, total length being 843.00m
has been the major challenges of the Project. The treatment
for this problem has been started and 11% work has been
completed so far.

Another major problem faced by the project has been the
excessive weak geological condition in the vertical shaft
penstock forming the cavity. This has resulted the design
change from R.C.C. to steel lined vertical shaft and horizontal
section of the penstock there by increasing the cost and time.
The embedded parts for powerhouse are installed. Installation
of two draft tubes with all accessories has been completed.
Similarly installation of turbines has also been completed.
Most of hydro-mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment
are delivered to site. Tower foundation works have been
completed, 99% of tower erection works of 132 kV
transmission line works have been completed. 64 km out of
131 km stringing works have been completed and tree cutting
has been completed. 86% of total electromechanical/hydro
mechanical/transmission line works has been completed.
The project is estimated to be completed on 14 March 2015
The construction Upper Trishuli -3A Project (60 MW) started
from 1st June 2011 and is supposed to be completed in 35
months as per the construction schedule. So far, the
construction of steel bridge and a pedestrian bridge over
Trishuli River, temporary camp at headwork, excavation of
Adit no.1, aggregate Screening plant, 1st phase river diversion
work at headwork area, foundation excavation for Diversion
Weir, about 27,000 cubic meter of concreting works in stilling
pool and retaining walls of right bank headwork structure
have been completed. The up gradation of the 11.5 km long
access road, access road to Surge shaft, Employer's Permanent
camp, excavation of Headrace tunnel on both upstream and
downstream face from Adit-1 and from head pond are in
progress. Similarly, the excavation work for De-sander, Intake
and Head pond are completed. In headrace tunnel, about
56% of excavation has been completed.

The construction of Rahughat Hydropower Project (32 MW)
started from 04 May 2012 after contract agreement with the
main civil works contractor IVRCL Limited, India. The duration
of the contract period, after the issuance of "Notice to
Proceed", is 42 months. About 30 hectares of land required
for project structures such as for the camp facilities, project
roads, power house, etc. have been acquired the construction
of the access road, bridge and the Contractor's temporary
facilities have already been started The construction of camp

NEA has always considered IPPs as trusted partners in meeting
Nepal's growing electricity demand. PPAs for 145 projects
have been concluded as of end of fiscal year 2012/13 that
would generate 1832 MW installed capacity on their
completion. Thirty three of those projects with total installed
capacity of 230 MW are already in operation. During the fiscal
year under review, 40 new PPAs for a total capacity of 243
MW were signed whereas nine PPAs for capacity up gradation
totaling 41.37 MW were amended.

The Way Forward

NEA's current huge shortfall of supply over demand cannot
be removed outright and is bound to remain for the next 3-
4 years. For the intervening period, following measures,
among others, will be pursued to restrict number of load
shedding hours to 12-14 per day per consumer during the
dry season:

हा Apart from power import through active lines, possibility
of importing 30 MW power through the 132 kV Gandak
- Ramnagar transmission line, 10 MW power from the
33 kV Birgunj - Raxual line and 10 MW power from the
33 kV Bhairahwa - Sunauli line which have been lying
idle for quite some time will be explored with urgency.
Including the additional import through these lines,
total import through existing infrastructure shall reach
upto 190 MW.

m The conductor upgradation work of 17 km long existing
Kushaha Kataiya 132 kV Cross Border TL has been
undertaken. The existing ACSR Conductor of the line
will be replaced by the equivalent size high current
carrying conductors called Aluminum Conductor
Composite Reinforced (ACCR). The Current carrying
capacity of equivalent ACCR conductor is almost double
that of ACSR. The strengthening in the Indian Grid is
also continuing. The work is scheduled to be completed
by end September 2013. After the completion of the
work, the line will enable to import of around 140-150
MW Power from India.

m  NEA's power system will be operated and managed in
such a way, even by utilizing existing thermal and import
under exchange as well as trade, so that the Kulekhani
Reservoir is full at the onset of dry season.

m Demand side management such as promoting the use
of energy efficient lamps and electrical appliances shall
be continued to be implemented. For this, 750,000 CFL
lamps have been procured and will be distributed to
the consumers of various distribution centers.

m The Capacitor Banks have been installed in many
Substations. This will improve the voltage profile and
result in reduction of losses.

m Stringent measures shall be taken for the reduction of
technical as well as pilferage losses. For this support
from political parties, civil society and the general public
will be solicited. Electricity loss including the pilferage
part will be restricted to 23 % by fiscal year 20132/14.

m = The Hetauda diesel plant and Duhabi multi-fuel plant
will be operated to the extent possible.

NEA will improve the quality of its services through the use
of new technologies to meet the challenges of new
environment of utility business. In particular following
measures will be pursued:

m NEA is updating its computerized revenue collection
system by introducing modern M-power computerized
billing system in each revenue collection centers. By
the end of fiscal year 2012/13, 82 revenue collection
centers have been updated with this system and NEA
has planned to implement this sysytem in additiopnal
20 distribution centers in current fiscal year 2013/14.

हा Any Branch Payment System is being introduced in
various distribution centers within the Kathmandu
valley. For this, major Distribution Centers within the
valley are already connected through optical fiber cables
and the remaining few will be connected shortly. This
system is already functional between Ratnapark and
Baneshor distribution centers and will be shortly
introduced between Pulchowk and Lagankhel
distribution centers.

हा Bank through payment system is in operation at Ratna
Park distribution center through Prime Commercial
Bank and NEA plans to extend it to other distribution
centers also.The technical feasibility study for the
payment of electricity bills through the use Mobile
phone (SMS billing system) and third party agency is
under study and NEA plan to introduce it mented on a
pilot project basis.

m NEA has pins to introduce Automatic Meter Reading
(AMR) System for high valued customers in near future.
Preliminary study in this effect has already been
completed.

m NEA has plans to establish Centralized Customer Care
Center to ensure single point of contact for all consumer
related activities including prompt grievance handling
services.

A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

हा = Application of Smart Grid and GIS based automated
distribution system will be initiated.

Tariff based on the cost plus principle will be applied to the
customers availing NEA's power through dedicated feeder
once approval is received from the Electricity Tariff Fixation
Commission.

Safety for the NEA personnel while operating and maintaining
the electrical supply lines as well as safety to the consumers
will be accorded a high priority.

Integrated Financial Management Information System (IFMIS)
based on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) will be
implemented in this fiscal yea. With such a system in place,
NEA will be transformed into an IT enabled organization with
prompt and reliable information for facilitating effective and
efficient decision-making.

The projects under construction by IPPs and projects for
which PPAs have been signed are run-of-river type only. These
projects will generate substantial energy during wet season
but provide less quantity of energy during dry season. This
results in surplus during wet season and deficit during dry
season. A comprehensive plan is required to utilize this surplus
energy and to manage the deficit in dry season. We have
already submitted a concept paper through Ministry of Energy
on Energy Banking with India. The Energy Banking scheme
will make it possible for us to export energy during Wet
months and get it returned during Dry months. This may
suitably address the seasonality of our generation facilities.
The development of a first major 400 kV cross-border
transmission line between Dhalkebar in Nepal and
Muzarffarpur in India, with a capacity of 1,000 MW has been
already undertaken with the participation of utility companies
on both sides of the border. This will help improve the power
exchange between Nepal and India, particularly exportation
of hydropower from Tamakoshi basins.

Large-scale hydropower developments are underway in the
Marsyangdi basin and Kali Gandaki basin targeting domestic
consumption and export to India. The Government is planning
the second 400 kV cross border transmission line from
Bardaghat in Nepal to Gorakhpur in India to export the
additional electricity to be generated from power projects
in Kali Gandaki basin and other basins. This project will be
funded by ADB.

NEA plans to complete transmission line sub projects of Kali
Gandaki Corridor and Marsyangdi Corridor before middle
2016 for the power evacuation of IPP hydropower projects
located in those basins.

The three transmission line projects namely, Modi-Lekhnath
132 kV Transmission Line, Solu Corridor 132 kV Transmission
Line and Koshi Corridor 220 kV Transmission Line will be
put into implementation following commitment of loan from
Exim Bank of India..

Development of storage projects will provide a long term
solution to resolve the problem of imbalance between supply
and demand during wet and dry seasons. Dudh Koshi, Tamor
Storage and Uttar Ganga Hydroelectric Projects have been
identified as prospective and viable projects for
implementation in near future. NEA will implement these
projects on a priority basis.

The hydropower project operated by subsidiary company of
NEA is performing well. Similarly, the development of other
hydropower projects undertaken by NEA's subsidiary
companies are in good progress. For the effective and speedy
implementation of the functions of NEA, a committee has
been formed to recommend appropriate measures for the
formation of subsidiary companies under Generation/
Transmission and Distribution business.

Project Status

By the end of FY 2012/13, 90.24% of the dam construction
works has been completed. Similarly, 90.85 % of intake, 100%
of connecting tunnel, 83.29% of desanding basin, 94% of adit
tunnel and 68% of the headrace tunnel (excluding squeezing
portion) has been completed. The progress of powerhouse,
surge tank, penstock and tail race construction stands at 99%,
71%, 63% and 99%, respectively. The overall progress of civil
works is 90.24%.

The progress in the construction of the headrace tunnel is
delayed due to the squeezing problem encounterd in tunnel
section between downstream of Adit 2 and upstream of
Adit.3. This is taken as the major challenges of the project.
The squeezed tunnel section is about 843 m long. Maximum
squeezing of 40% of the tunnel diameter was observed. The
treatment for this problem has been started and 11% work
has been completed so far. Another major problem faced by
the project is the excessive weak geological condition in the
vertical shaft penstock forming the cavity. This has resulted
in the design change from R.C.C. to steel lined vertical shaft
and horizontal section of the penstock there by increasing
the cost and time.

The embedded parts for powerhouse are installed. Installation
of two draft tubes with all accessories has been completed.
Similarly, installation of turbines has also been completed.
Most of hydro-mechanical and electro-mechanical equipment
are delivered to site. Hundred percent of tower foundation
works, 99% of tower erection works of 132 kV transmission
line works have been completed. Out of 131 km length,
stringing works on 64 Km length has been completed.
Likewise tree cutting work has also been completed. In
general, 86% percent of total electromechanical/hydro

Generation Operation and
Maintenance Business Group

Generation Operation and Maintenance (GO&M) Business
Group is responsible for the optimum operation and
maintenance of the seventeen (17) hydropower stations and
two (2) thermal power plants owned by NEA. The mission of
the GO&M Business Group has been "Generation of energy
by optimally utilizing the resources available while
undertaking periodic overhauling, major maintenance works
and rehabilitation projects of the generating stations".

The total installed capacity of hydropower stations and
thermal power plants under this business group has remained
at 469.29 MW and 53.41 MW, respectively. There has not been
any capacity addition in the year under view The GO&M
business has strived to increase total production of energy
year on year basis, without accounting for the thermal energy.
This year the same resources have been maximally used to
generate 2266 GWh of which Hydro-energy contributed
2247 GWh of the total and 18.8 GWh came from thermal.

The generation target set for the year was 2,342 GWh.
Although the target was exceeded by the major power plants,
there has been a shortfall of 77 GWh in the total generation.
This shortfall has been mainly due to the restriction of
generation in Kulkhani 1 and 2 reservoir power plants and
maintenance problems faced in Trishuli and Modi power
stations. The generations in the two reservoir type cascade
power plants vary mainly according to the variations in annual
rainfall in their catchment area. During the year under review,
the reservoir was kept filled till late in the dry season by
restricting its generation so as to maximize output from
available stored water. The fire in the transformers in Kulekhani
2 power plant forced the generation from upstream Kulekhani
1 power plant to reduce. It is expected that the water stored
during last three months of FY 2012/13 will contribute towards
higher generation from these power plants in the next fiscal
year as the water level of the reservoir has been more than
1516.00 masl by the end of Asar 2070.

The maximum water-level of the Kulekhani reservoir was
recorded at 1530.5 masl in FY 2012/13. The water extraction
from Kulekhani reservoir was limited to 1506 masl minimum
level while expecting to fill the reservoir for the coming winter
season.

The business group has continued to work on the repair and
maintenance activities, periodic overhauling and
rehabilitation as well as Renovation, Modernization and
Upgradation (RMU) projects in assistance with Government
of Nepal and multilateral agencies. The Multifuel power plant
rehabilitation was completed with all six turbine and
generators tested for 6.0 MW continuous generation.
However, due to breakdowns in auxiliary systems such as
trace heater, cooling water fan, plate heat exchanger and oil
separators, the total plant generation was limited to 4 units.
The auxiliary systems are being procured and repaired. By
the coming winter in 2070, it is expected that 5 units will be
able to generate 30 MW with one unit as rotational stand-by
and maintenance. The other RMU projects in KGA, Modi and
Marsyangdi Power Plant are at various stages of
implementation. The weir of Modi power plant has been
repaired before the flood season, and further construction
and gate installation as well as bypass system in forebay will
be completed next year. It is expected to achieve full design
generation capacity after completion of the rehabilitation by
the end of this fiscal year.

Ageing generating stations are faced with ageing workforce
and the skilled and knowledgeable personnel from the initial
project period are depleted. This means the operation
practices have also seen gradual deterioration. Efforts have
been made to upgrade available manpower at floor level and
at engineer level. In-house training courses, an initiative
launched from last year, have been continued in the major
five power plants to train operation & maintenance personnel.
Ageing power plants also mean increase in operation and
maintenance costs. Coupled with inadequate skilled
workforce and unavailability of spare parts, the Operation
and Maintenance business faces serious challenges in the
days ahead. Advanced technologies used in the new power
plants demand manpower up to the notch. Systemic
improvements are called for in this sector to bring the
generation to the optimum level.

The two Operation and Maintenance departments under the

Generation Business Group will continue to work on
generation improvement initiatives in a broader framework.

A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

This erstwhile Generation O&M Business Group was structured
into two departments, namely, Large Power Plant and Medium
Power Plant Operation & Maintenance Departments.

LARGE POWER PLANT OPERATION &
MAINTENANCE (LPPOM) DEPARTMENT

The LPPOM Department overlooked the operation and
maintenance of five (5) hydropower stations and one (1)
thermal power plant above 30 MW owned by NEA, with a
total of 414.9 MW of installed capacity. The generations of
the power plants have been very satisfactory excluding
generation of Kulekhani 1 and 2 power plants, whose water
was stored and remained unused, and the Multi-fuel power
plant whose operation is dictated by the high fuel costs and
subsidy to be provided by the government.

Annual overhauling and repair works were carried out in
Kaligandaki A, Middle Marsyangdi and Marsyangdi power
plants. In Kaligandaki A power plant, the high sediment load
in the waters used for generation had resulted in abnormally
high wear and tear in all the three runners and the wearing
parts of turbine. Two of the runners have been massively
eroded with chunks of blades removed. Hence, two units
were completely overhauled while third unit was repaired in
situ.

The three Main Inlet Valves were repaired in record time
completing the whole work in less than eight days. The surge
tank wheel gate problem was solved which was lying as a
puzzle since its installation. Now tunnel dewatering is not
required during repair of Main inlet valves. It is seen that
Kaligandaki A power plant needs major repair every year
unless the sediment issue is addressed properly. Kaligandaki
A Rehabilitation project has been launched with World Bank
loan to take care of some of these issues.

Kulekhani-l and Kulekhani-ll being reservoir type power plants
does not experience erosion problems and hence, only regular
preventive maintenance exercises are undertaken.

Kaligandaki power plant is shutdown frequently for few hours
at a time during monsoon due to overload of floating debris
at its intake, which also reduces the desander efficiency. A
Floating boom with submerged net was designed by the
department and constructed and installed at the intake weir
this year. The operation of the floating boom has been
successful, reducing the trash load by almost half. This
indigenous design, made at a very nominal cost, will force to
rethink any introduction of new structures to achieve the
same function. The conditions of two runners were severely
damaged with slices of the blade profile cut -off wholly. The
high generation during high sediment load in monsoon,
while giving record energy generation, had also caused such

21। Nepal Electricity Authority

severe damage. Thou the runners are repaired, it may be
necessary to replace the runners after one or two massive
repairs of this scale.

Middle Marsyangdi dam site study of the river sedimentation
and flow behavior was carried out in order to prepare a better
design for its left bank protection. Technical support in the
form of an Advisor from Fichtner GmbH has been employed
since January 2012 under KfW loan program for improving
the maintenance practices, imparting training and providing
technical advice where found necessary.

Marsyangdi power plant has improved its generation for the
consecutive year. Additional filter tank was constructed to
reduce downtime due to shaft-seal cooling water problem
in the monsoon. The runners have been repaired frequently
since 1990 and the efficiency of the runners with the present
blade profile needs to be checked to improve the repair and
achieve better efficiency.

In Kulekhani-ll, the132 KV power transformer was damaged
due to lightning and resulting fire. The bushings were
punctured first, but the resulting fire could not be
extinguished and it spread to nearby B-phase transformer.
The external auxillaries and bushings of two single phase
transformers were damaged by the time help from fire brigade
and staff could quench the fire. These transformers were
repaired at local manufacturer's shop and are now operating
again at its 90% capacity.

Major power plants as Kulekhani-। and Kulekhani-ll,
Marsyangdi and Middle Marsyangdi now contribute to their
capacity in boosting the reactive power generation and
improving voltage profile in Hetauda and Bharatpur area.
Test operation in Synchronous capacitor mode of Kulekhani-। pushing approximately 38 MVar to the system was done
last year. Load Dispatching Center has to put to use the
reactive support possible from this plant during periods when
it is not generating.

The rehabilitation project of Multi-fuel Power Plant was
completed this year, with some works on auxiliary systems
remaining which will be completed very soon. This will ensure
availability of 5 units everyday producing 30MW in total.
In addition to operation and maintenance works, capacity
building efforts which were initiated in-house from May 2012,
have been continued this year also in all five hydro-power
stations. One course for operators was conducted in each
power plant. The dire need to transfer knowledge to the
lower level technicians is recognized and the best means for
doing that is in-house. Engineers have been sent abroad for
short training courses in specialized areas. The results and
feedback have been very encouraging. This initiative shall be

pursued vigorously in the coming year.

MEDIUM POWER PLANT OPERATION AND
MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT

The department is responsible for operation and maintenance
of medium & small power stations with installed capacity
less than 30 MW. There are 12 Hydropower & 1 Thermal power
stations under this department.

The total generation from Medium Hydropower stations were
recorded at 389.24 GWh in FY 2012/13 compared to 403.24
GWh in 2011/12. Generation from Trishuli declined this year
due to problems in two generators, and this resulted in
consequent decrease in cascade power plant Devighat also.
Modi power plant facing significant problems in weir also
generated much less than the last year. Gandak, Ilam, Panauti,
Seti and Fewa increased generation compared to the last
year albeit in a very small quantity.

In Trishuli Hydropower Station, the damages inflicted in
generator stator and rotor of Unit No. 1 & 6 in July 2012 due
to the failure of the relays to trip the main breakers has been
recovered. Protection relays as a safety measure and back-
up has been installed in all 7 units. In Devighat, one 6.5 MVA,
6.6/66 kV step-up transformer in Unit No. 1 was installed and
33 kV and 66 kV SF6 breaker were also installed in Dhading
and Trishuli-Devighat feeders.

In Gandak Hydropower Station, the proposed installation of
trash rack cleaning machine (TRCM) and construction of
under-sluice channel at intake are expected to relieve choking
of trash rack with debris and silt that flow unabated from the
headworks thereby increasing available capacity of the plant
during peak and off-peak hours.

In Modi Khola Hydropower station, the proposed civil, hydro-
mechanical and electromechanical renovation and
modification works are undergoing. After completion of these
works this year, it is expected to resolve the underlying
problems of trash rack choking, sedimentation and forebay
siltation and some persistent electro-mechanical problems.
In Sunkoshi Hydropower station, overhauling of Unit 1 was
done in addition to the regular maintenance works in the
headworks and canal. In Ilam Hydropower station, penstock
pipe rectification works have been carried out. The sliding of
the slope where the penstock is aligned has caused serious
impacts in the penstock requiring continual monitoring of it
and major corrective measures every year to prevent penstock
failure.

In Chatara Hydropower Station, Unit No. 1 is in operation
while Unit No. 2 needs major electrical and mechanical
overhauling works to be carried out in its Bevel Gear Bulb
turbine assembly. The outsourcing of the overhauling works

AYEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ. 1707 2012/13

to experienced firms in these types of turbines could be an
option.

All three units of Seti Hydropower Station are in operation.
The equipments for renovation of excitation and switchgear
system of Seti Hydropower Station have been installed and
commissioned. In Fewa Hydropower Station, 3 Units are in
operation while remaining Unit No. 4 needs major
rehabilitation work. Operation of only two units at a time is
possible due to inadequate canal inflow.

The rehabilitation of electromechanical components of
Sundarijal Hydropower station is underway under the joint
assistance from ADB, GON and NEA.

Pharping Hydropower Station is a century old, the first power
station in Nepal. It is not in scheduled operation at the
moment. The station operates only for an hour a day as water
that feeds the turbine is being used for drinking water supply.
A master plan has been prepared to develop the site as Live
Museum with construction and establishments including
model power station of wind, solar and hydro and as a
centenary celebration memorial.

Hetauda Diesel Plant generated 8.8 GWh this year due to the
subsidy policy of the government and limiting load-shedding
to 12 hours in the winter. The seven units were rehabilitated
last year and all the units are available for generation. The
proposal for up gradation of AVR of existing excitation system
is under consideration.

Key challenges for increasing generation from medium power
stations are namely, the enforcement of maintenance
schedule, reduction of maintenance outages, imparting skills
and operating prudence and deficient skilled workforce to
name a few.

Lowering of Main Shaft into the Turbine Pit

Kaligandaki 'A' Hydropower Station

Kaligandaki 'A' Hydropower Station, located at Beltari,
Syangja is the largest power plant of Nepal with installed
capacity of 144 MW and annual design generation of
842 GWh. It was commissioned in 2002.

Amongst notable maintenance works carried out this
year, major repair works of main inlet valves of Unit No.
1,2 & 3 were carried out during plant shutdown from
1 March, 2013 to 9 March, 2013 within a record time of
less than eight days. Many pending repair works were
done during this shutdown such as replacing the valve
of the adit tunnel pipes to the fish hatchery, repair of
stoplog-seal beams and concrete repair in flushing
gates of headworks. The tunnel was inspected and
water leakage was monitored. The long-standing
problem of leakage from the surgetank wheel gate was
solved and tested. Now it shall be possible to dewater
penstock without tunnel dewatering. The underwater
repair of radial diversion gate seal and concrete was
completed without shutdown. This repair job is
considered to be first of its kind in Nepalese hydro-
power plants. As a part of annual maintenance works,
this year overhauling of Unit No. 2 & 3, repair of runner
of Unit No. 1 were done. Replacement of HV Bushing
in Power Transformers and installation of air admission
system in Unit No. 1 to alleviate the cavitation problem
during low discharges was done.

The Kaligandaki 'A' Hydropower Plant Rehabilitation
Project (KGAHPPRP) funded by World Bank (IDA Credit)
is estimated to cost US Dollar 30.6 million and scheduled
to be completed by April, 2016 includes headworks
modification, dam safety & instrumentation, technical
assistance and capacity-building and revised
electromechanical works.

उ. Marsyangdi Hydropower Station

2. Middle Marsyangdi Hydropower Station

Middle Marsyangdi Hydropower Station is located at
Bhoteodar, Siundibar, Lamjung with installed capacity
of 70 MW and annual design generation of 398 GWh.
It was commissioned in 2008. The operational
performance of the plant has been improving,
generating record energy this year exceeding the
generation target and the design generation. The
headworks left-bank stability and slope protection has
been a worrisome issue and under scanner for some
time. To properly understand this, bathymetric survey
using Differential Global Positioning System (DGPS),
velocity measurement, gauge installation and discharge
measurement of the reservoir are currently undertaken
covering up to 50 meter upstream of the reservoir.
These findings will be applied to develop a model to
study river behavior and sedimentation issues of the
reservoir. Overhauling of Unit No. 2 was carried out this
year. The application of high wear resistance epoxy
component and maintenance of sill beam at spillway
gates 1, 2 & 3 are other significant activities this year.

Marsyangdi Hydropower Station is located at
Aabookhaireni, Tanahun in the central region with
installed capacity of 69 MW and annual design
generation of 462.5 GWh. It was commissioned in 1989
AD. The plant continues to perform up to the
expectation and has generated 450 GWh this year

exceeding last year's generation of 445.90 GWh. The
design generation of this power plant is 462.5 GWh,
and its record annual generation has been 480 GWh,
which indicates that the annual runner maintenance
works may need to be supported with turbine efficiency
tests and blade profile design checks in order to be
able to achieve similar efficiency to the original unit.

Among major repair works this year, the replacement
of turbine runner of Unit 3, wearing ring with facing
plate of bottom ring and head cover wearing ring,
repair of guide vanes, facing plates, Metaceram coating
and application of Belzona were done. The weir control
modernization and modification under Loan No. 2587-
NEP, EAEIP jointly funded by ADB and GON/NEA has
been completed in July this year. The 1.5 MW Diesel
plant at Dhakaltaar was also operated this year with
one unit in operation during peak time.

Makwanpur is the only storage type power plant in
Nepal with installed capacity of 60 MW and annual
design generation of 211 GWh (165 GWh primary and
46 GWh secondary) which was commissioned in 1982
AD. The plant was basically designed for peaking,
however due to inadequate generation in the system
to match the demand; the plant is forced to operate as
and when required. The generation this year is quite
low compared to previous years primarily due to
disruption in KL-ll; its cascade. There were two successive
interruptions in its own generation due to progressive
breakdown of 66 kV XLPE cable at both units at a
vulnerable point where water humidity accumulation
occurred in the bottom turn raising issues of wet aging
of the cable. The cables were immediately repaired
using 66 kV straight-through cable jointing kits.
Condition monitoring of Power Transformers, CTs & PTs
was also carried out. The replacement of MOCBs by
VCBs with control and relay panel, installation of
combination panel of digital governor and digital AVR

in Unit no. 1 and procurement of 66 kV XLPE cable and
cable termination kits are currently underway.

5. Kulekhani-ll Hydropower Station

Kulekhani-Il Hydropower Station, located at Nibuwatar,
Makwanpur with installed capacity of 32 MW and
annual design generation of 104.6 GWh is a cascade to
Kulekhani-l along with a diversion of Mandu River to
the specially built intake. It was commissioned in 1986
AD. Water from Rapti River is also fed to the intake of
KL-II by pumping when required. The operation of this
plant is completely dependent on the operation of
Kulekhani-l. The unprecedented incident of explosion
and subsequent fire in the switchyard on the night of
April 16, 2013 resulted in damage of transformers,
cables, instrument transformers and other switchyard
equipments. NEA responded promptly to the crisis and
damages inflicted by the fire and explosions were
repaired and the generation was partially resumed by
restoring power transformer from Gandak HPP on 30
May, 2013. The emergency repairs in damaged power
transformers were carried out and the 90% of the
capacity of the plant has been restored by 11 July, 2013.
The commissioning of new 132/6.6 kV, 3 Phase, 26/37.8
MVA Power Transformer will bring the its capacity to
100%. This work and installation of 132 KV SF6 Gas
circuit Breaker in switchyard are scheduled to be
completed by middle of this F.Y.

Hetauda Diesel Power Plant

Hetauda Diesel Power Plant, with installed capacity of
14.41 MW is located at Hetauda, Makawanpur. The first
phase with three sets of English Units was
commissioned in 1963 and the second phase with four
sets of Russian Units was commissioned in 1980 in
assistance from British Government and Government
of Nepal. The plant operates during peak, however, the
soaring fuel price has made its operation costlier
compared to that of hydropower stations. The plant
contributes to generation mix and provides operational
flexibility and strengthens system reliability. However,
the exorbitant fuel price restricts its operation and NEA
has to receive some sort of subsidy from GON as
compensation for its operation. Presently, the plant
has been operating at capacity of 10 MW as and when
necessary.

C-Power Development Project

Power development project (PDP) was originally
approved by the World Bank board on May 22, 2003 for
SDRs 55.25 million. It had three components, and Power
Development Project implemented by Nepal Electricity
Authority (NEA) is one of them. Additional finance was
provided on May 26, 2009 to further enhance NEA
components, taking the total project amount to SDRs
93.81 million. These funds were provided to address
the prevailing power crisis in Nepal through
rehabilitation of generation capacity, strengthening of
the transmission system, and expansion of distribution
access.

Original NEA components include construction of
Chandranigahapur sub-station, the Distribution and
Rural Electrification Project and the Khimti-Dhalkebar
220 kV transmission line. At the time of restructuring,
following activities were started: Distribution System
Rehabilitation Project, Rehabilitation of the Hetauda
diesel plant, Rehabilitation of Kaligandaki-A plant, multi-
fuel power plant and the Pathlaiya substation,
implementation of the integrated financial management
information system (IFMIS), Hetauda-Bharatpur 220 kV
transmission line, Bharatpur-Bardaghat transmission
line and conductor procurement for Hetauda-Dhalkebar-
Duhabi (HDD) line. The conductor procurement for
HDD line was included under the PDP in January 2011
to achieve financial closure of the Nepal-India Electricity
Transmission and Trade Project (NIETTP). However, it
could not be materialized under PDP funding. Instead,
it is now proposed as additional funding under NIETTP.

Chandranigahapur sub-station, the Distribution and
Rural Electrification Projects are now complete. However,
Khimti-Dhalkebar transmission line is only 95%
complete. Some of the local problems in the area have
delayed progress to be made in Khimti-Dhalkebar 220
kV transmission line. Similarly, the Distribution System
Rehabilitation Project, the Rehabilitation of Hetauda
diesel plant, rehabilitation of the Duhabi multi-fuel plant
and the Pathlaiya substation are complete. However,
the Hetauda Bharatpur transmission line has been

41। Nepal Electricity Authority

significantly affected due to rerouting and delays in
forest clearance. The forest clearance has now been
received and the contractor is trying to expedite the
work. It is likely that a substantial proportion of the
activity would extend beyond the loan closing date, i.e.
December 31, 2013. Similarly, having taken more time
in securing Forest Clearance approval from the Ministry
of Forests, implementation of Bharatpur-Bardaghat
transmission line will extend beyond the loan closing
period.

Further, the following three activities are cancelled from
PDP: (1) Conductor for Hetauda-Dhalkebar-Duhabi line,
(2) Rehabilitation of Kaligandaki-A plant and (3)
Implementation of the Integrated Financial
Management Information System (IFMIS) and
procurement of System Integrator (SI). Funds for these
three activities have been allocated as an additional
financing under NIETTP.

The 144 MW Kaligandaki-A is the largest hydropower
plant in Nepal, providing nearly 22% of the electricity
supply. Although it is in urgent need for rehabilitation,
identification of technical solution has taken much
longer than originally anticipated. The World Bank has
already proposed funds for rehabilitation of Kaligandaki
- A Hydropower Plant as a standalone project. While
the overall PDP project is closing on December 31, 2013,
the disbursement ratio currently remains at 90%.

Transmission and System Operation

Business Group

Transmission and System Operation Business Group is entrusted with the key responsibilities of
generation and transmission system planning, system operation, operation and maintenance of
national grid and trading of power. It is headed by a General Manager. The System Planning Department
carries out load forecasting, generation expansion planning and transmission system planning of
the power system of Nepal while System Operation Department performs the operation planning
and real time system operation. Similarly, Grid Operation Department carries out overall operation
and maintenance of national grid and Power Trade Department executes the trading of power with
Independent Power Producers and also carries out the business activities of power exchange and

trading of power with India.

System Planning Department

Currently, Grid Impact Study (GIS) for new generation projects
is the main focus of System Planning Department (SPD). The
GIS analyzes the effect of new connection to NEA Grid to
ensure satisfactory operation of the NEA Grid in conformity
with the NEA Grid Code; requirement for additional
transmission lines, reinforcement in the network, and
requirement for the installation of capacitors and reactors
are recommended.

SPD also identifies constraints in the grid that could pose
operational risk and that reduces efficiency due to outages
in the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS). SPD also
develops transmission configurations for evacuating power
from planned generation projects. For this, different technical
studies such as load flow, short circuit, steady and transient
stability are carried out.

As a part of the preparation of the Corporate Development
Plan 2013, SPD prepared NEA's new Load Forecast for the
next 20 years starting FY 2012/13 incorporating Government
of Nepal's macro-economic indicators and NEA's target new
connection rates. A short term monthly Capacity and Energy
Balance was also prepared considering the new load forecast,
existing projects, projects that are firmly in place for
implementation as well as the scope for import.

SPD also assists other departments of NEA by providing
necessary data and give suggestions regarding
implementation of planned projects. The department was
also actively involved in the JICA assisted Nationwide Master

Plan Study on Storage-type Hydroelectric Power Development
in Nepal that is being studied by J-Power as the consultant.
In FY 2012/13, System Planning Department carried out
number of technical studies at the request of NEA's different
departments. Notable among them are:

The Distribution and Consumer Services (DCS) Business Group is responsible for overall management of electricity
distribution networks and services of NEA. The major activities of this business group include operation, maintenance,
rehabilitation and expansion of the electricity distribution network up to 33 kV voltage level and consumer services such
as new consumer connections, meter reading, billing, and revenue collection. The operation and maintenance of off grid
small hydro power plants in its area also falls under the jurisdiction of this business group. Following the change in NEA's
organization structure that was affected from beginning of FY 2013/14, the two Business Groups; Distribution and
Consumer Services East and West each headed by a General Manager are consolidated into a single wing to manage the
overall distribution and consumer services activities in more effective and efficient manner. Since, the activities under
this business group during the review period of 2012/13 were run separately for DCS East and DCS West, these are

presented here separately.

DCS East is the largest business group of NEA in terms of
number of employees and business activities. Approximately
45% of the total staff of NEA are employed in DCS East. DCS
East provided services to consumers through its 50
Distribution Centers spread over eastern part of the country.

Programs and Activities

As part of reinforcement and expansion of the distribution
systems, many programs, projects and the activities were
undertaken in FY 2012/13 to expand and improve the service
delivery. Some glimpses of the major activities undertaken
are presented below:

Electrification & Expansion Programs

The program during the year under review focused on
extension of the existing distribution system and the
completion of the outstanding electrification works on a
priority basis. The activities are spread over all the areas under
the jurisdiction of the DCS, East business group. During FY
2012/13, four 33/11 kV transformers of 6/8 MVA capacity and
two 33/11 kV transformers of 10/13.3/16.6 MVA capacity were
charged at different substations.

Loss Reduction Activities

In FY 2012/13, special drives were initiated to reduce the
technical and non-technical losses. Feeder-wise loss
evaluation was continued and extra load shedding hours
were set for high loss prone feeders. This practice was found
to be effective to bring down the losses of the many high
loss prone feeders substantially. At the same time, distribution
centers were assigned loss targets to achieve within the
prescribed time frame. This was also linked with the
performance of concerned distribution center chief and a
significant loss reduction was observed in many areas. The
special efforts of the employees and the support of the various
institutions in controlling non technical losses brought in

46

A YEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

good results in many areas. Distribution Centers at Gaur and
Bharatpur amongst others were successful to bring down
the losses substantially. The overall result towards loss
reduction was found to be encouraging during review period.
This Business Group carried out regular monitoring of feeders
and areas having more than 30% loss. The activities of the
Loss Controlling Committee formed under the chairmanship
of Chief District Officers were effective to reduce non-technical
losses. Loss Controlling Committee at the central level issued
directives to the concerned offices to reduce the loss level.
During the FY 2012/13, a total of 4573 numbers of direct
hooking cases were caught and Rs 1,08,51,743.40 was
recovered from persons involved. Similarly action was taken
against 2002 consumers for electricity pilferage and Rs
1,36,05,689.79 was recovered from it. Regular monitoring,
data downloading and analysis of the large industrial and
commercial consumers were augmented. Significant loss
reduction was observed in many high non technical loss
prone areas by the use of Ariel Bundled Conductor (ABC).
Upgrading of overloaded conductors and transformers was
also carried out to reduce the non technical losses. In line
with NEA decision, the electromechanical meters of the
consumers of capacity 25-50 kVA range are also being
replaced with electronic meters. Despite the adverse working
conditions at local levels, especially in terai and some hilly
areas, continued efforts and measures taken to control losses
brought fruitful results by bringing down the system losses
to 19.32 % in this period.

Demand Side Management

With the grant assistance from Asian Development Bank, DCS
East initiated program to distribute 750,000 CFL lamps for in
some selected areas of the country. Installation of capacitor
banks in Nepalgunj, Jaleshwor, Rajbiraj and Tanki-Sinuwari
substations completed last fiscal year resulted in substantial
voltage improvement in those areas. Similarly, materials for
LV Capacitor bank installation have already been received
and the program is expected to be completed in about few
months. The construction of 33/11 kV Substations near load
centers continued during review period and majority of them
are expected to complete in FY 2013/14. This will substantially
reduce the losses in the feeder lines and improve the electricity
supply situation.

Computerized Billing Project

The objective of the this Computerized Billing Project (CBP)
is to implement a common billing system in all the revenue
collection centers of NEA for improved billing and revenue
collection processes in a modern, efficient and cost effective
manner. The Mpower billing system is in operation in 82
collection centers. Computerized Billing Project has also
implemented Handheld Meter Reading Device (HHD) which
is in operation in 41 different collection centers. Further
Computerized Billing Project plans to implement Mpower
billing system and Handheld Meter Reading Device in
additional 20 collection centers within this Fiscal Year.
The Project has also successfully incorporated the increased
tariff rates that became effective from FY 2012/13 in the
Mpower billing system in all the revenue collection centers
where the system is in operation.

Bank through Payment System (Online Banking) has already
started for Ratnapark Distribution Center through Prime
Commercial Bank. This project targets to implement Bank
through Payment System in other revenue collection centers
with different banks. The project also targets to introduce
SMS banking System and other third party collection system
within this FY 2013/14. With the implementation of these
systems, the consumers can pay their electricity bills through
SMS or pay their electricity bills at any of the nearest electricity
bill collection centers with ease.

The introduction of Any Branch Payment System (ABPS)
currently implemented in 2 revenue collection centers
(Ratnapark DC, Baneshwor DC) will help the customers to
pay their bills easily on time on any of these locations. This
system will also help NEA to collect revenue and get analytical
reports on time. The project will implement this system in
additional revenue collection centers (Lagankhel DC,
Pulchowk DC, Maharajgunj DC, Kuleshor DC and Chabahil
DC).

The project will implement the centralized billing system of
the collection centers in Kathmandu Valley within FY 2013/14.
For this purpose a Billing Data Center shall be set up. Billing
information of the customer shall be put on the internet such
that customers can know their respective billing history.
Computerized billing project has successfully converted the
one month Delay Billing System of Kuleshwor DC to Mpower
(Spot Billing System) in July 2013. This has increased the
revenue of the Kuleshwor DC for that Fiscal Year. The Project
has plans to convert all the other one month delay billing
system (Biratnagar DC, Birgunj DC, Janakpur DC, Bhairahawa
DC, Nepalgunj DC, Bhaktapur DC, Kirtipur DC and Balaju Sub
Branch) to Mpower spot billing System within this FY 2013/14.

Automatic Meter Reading is a technology of automatically
collecting consumption, diagnostic, and status of electronic
energy meter (TOD) and transferring that data to a central
database real-time for billing, troubleshooting, and analyzing.
This technology mainly saves utility providers the expense
of periodic trips to each physical location to read a meter.
The project will implement Automatic Meter Reading System
(AMR) as a pilot project for 200 High Value Consumers (TOD)
within this FY 2013/14.

system till date and plans are to extend it to all distribution
centers with modern facilities in the coming years. The

93। Nepal Electricity Authority

Computerized Billing Project under this department has plans
to cover entire distribution centers within Kathmandu valley
with 'Any Branch Payment System'. Four distribution centers,
Ratnapark, Baneswar, Lagankhel and Pulchowk were selected
for implementation in the first phase. This system is already
implemented between Ratnapark and Baneswar DCs and will
be operable soon between Lagankhel and Pulchowk DCs.
Bank through payment system (Online banking) has already
started for Ratnapark Distribution Center through Prime
Commercial Bank.

Future Plans and Programs

NEA has taken the high system loss as a major challenge and
shall make every effort to bring down the distribution system
loss. It is also planning to improve the quality of the services
through the use of new technologies and capacity building
to meet the challenges of new environment in utility business.
Consumer complaints shall be addressed without delay and
the procedure for new connection related works shall be
made simple and user friendly. Centralized customer care
center shall be established to ensure single point of contact
for all consumer related activities, timely service, less
processing time for new connection and centralized control
and monitoring over the entire customer care process. NEA
is planning to implement Automatic Meter Reading, AMR
system. Payment and billing information shall be made
available in internet so that consumer can access information
on line. Bank through payment system will be extended to
all distribution centers of Kathmandu valley in first phase to
pay the electricity bill through bank. Payment KIOSK shall be
installed in major branches to facilitate bill payment outside
office hours. Any bank payment system will be extended and
SMS banking system will be introduced in near future.

Regional Offices

During review period there were four regional offices under
DCS East, located at Biratnagar, Janakpur, Hetauda and
Kathmandu. The functions of operation, maintenance, and
expansion of the network up to the 33 kV voltage levels and
consumer services such as new consumer connections, meter
reading, billing, and revenue collection are carried out by
regional offices. In addition, the regional offices are also
responsible for managing community based rural
electrification and operation and maintenance of off grid
small hydro power plants within their jurisdiction.
Apart from the regular consumer services, the regional offices
focused on the following activities in FY 2012/13:

a.Loss Reduction Program

The non-technical losses comprises of major share of losses.
During the year under review, various measures taken in the
preceding years were continued to reduce the non-technical

AYEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ 1707 2012/13

losses. Massive awareness campaigns were initiated in various
distribution centers.

Besides, strict measures for electricity theft control like
confiscation of electric equipment and taking legal course
against those involved were carried out in various distribution
centers with the help of local administration and security
agencies.

New electricity tariff was implemented from the meter reading
date of 1st Bhadra, 2069. This required re-programming of
all Time-of-Day (TOD) meters due to change in time slot. This
also helped to identify any error in meter and metering units.
NEA recovered substantial amount as additional bills due to
this initiative. Regular inspection of Time-of-Day (TOD) meters,
data download and analysis since then has helped to curb
any connection fault or manipulation. NEA management
made various decisions as 'Immediate Action Plans' to improve
its functioning. Among many, this plan included allocation
of substantial fund for execution of loss reduction activities.
All regional offices and distribution centers actively
participated in this drive which was found to be much
effective.

b. Energy Monitoring and Auditing of
Distribution Substations

Static energy meters were installed at distribution substations
to measure the amount of energy delivered by the

substations. The Planning and Technical Services Department
co-operated with Grid Operation Department to install TOD

meters in various grid substations. The static meters installed
at different substations were downloaded to check and verify
the data. The program for installation of Bulk Supply Meters
and the Metering Unit was also continued in FY 2012/13. The
energy monitoring and auditing was also augmented
verifying the data with concerned transmission grid and
generation units.

c. Customer Care

Distribution and Consumer service works as interfaces
between NEA and its consumers. So, special efforts were
taken to improve the quality of service at the consumer
interface points. The employees took special efforts to serve
our valued consumers in more effective way. Extended Queue
Management System at various cash collection centers helped
to minimize difficulties encountered by the consumers in
queuing for making payments. Round the clock no-light
services have been implemented in most of the urban no-
light centers. These functions and activities were carried out
by all the four regional offices.

As a part of system reinforcement and expansion of
distribution system program, many activities were undertaken
in FY 2012/13 to improve the service delivery. The main
activities undertaken are listed below:

Electrification Program

Electrification program focuses on extensions of the existing
distribution network and on completion of outstanding
incomplete electrification works on a priority basis. The

97। Nepal Electricity Authority

The Distribution and Consumer Services West (DCSW) Business Group is the
second largest among the business groups of NEA in terms of number of employees
and business activities. Approximately 18% of the total staffs of NEA are employed

This Business Group provides service to consumers through 40 Distribution Centers
spread over 39 districts of the country.

Distribution and Consumer
Services West Business Group

activities of the program were spread over all the areas under
the jurisdiction of the DCS West business group

Planning and Technical Services Department

The Planning and Technical Services Department is
responsible for planning, preparation of distribution system
expansion programs and supporting DCS West Business
group in the technical and commercial matters. The
Department identifies potential RE projects and substation
rehabilitation projects for implementation in phase wise
manner. The Department also carries out management of
TOD energy meter & metering equipment and develops and
implements programs for reduction of distribution system
losses. In addition, the Department carries out impact studies
for evacuation of power from IPPs to distribution substation.

Loss Reduction Activities in DCS, West

In FY 2012/13, special efforts were taken to reduce the
Technical and Non-Technical Losses. Distribution and
Consumer Service, West started regular monitoring of the
feeders and areas having more than 40% loss. The Loss
Reduction Committee was formed in many distribution
centers. The Committee is headed by the concerned Chief
District Officer. Loss reduction committee at the central level
has regularly collected loss related information from the
distribution centers and regional offices, analyzed the
collected information and directed the concerned offices to
improve the loss situation. During FY 2012/13, 1321 customers
were penalized for electricity pilferage and Rs 89,94,590.14
collected from them. Total 4708 numbers of damaged energy

meters wrer replaced. Significant numbers of Capacitor bank
placement, transformer load balancing and transformer
shifting has been done.

Monitoring, data downloading and analysis of the
consumption of large industrial and commercial consumers
have been increased. Use of Arial Bundle Conductor, ABC has
been encouraged in high non technical loss prone areas.
Upgrading of overloaded conductors and transformers have
been carried out to reduce the non technical losses. Despite
continued efforts and measures taken to control non technical
losses, the desired result could not be achieved. This is mainly
due to the adverse local work environment especially in terai
and some hilly areas.

Queue Management System (QMS)

As a continuous effort to provide better service and comfort
to our valued consumers, QMS has been implemented in
different branches and improvement in physical infrastructure
at these locations have also been made to provide comfort
to consumers.

Regional Offices

Under Distribution and Consumer Services, West, four
Regional Offices namely Butwal Regional Office (BRO),
Nepalgunj Regional Office (NRO), Attaria Regional Office
(ARO) and Pokhara Regional Office (PRO) are in operation.
The main function of the Regional Offices is to co-ordinate
the activities of distribution centers within its region.

Key objectives of the Regional Offices are:

- Provision of reliable electricity supply to the consumers
within the region at statutory levels of voltage

- Sell electricity and achieve planned surpluses of revenue
over the total expenditure

- Provide new connections to prospective consumers

- Ensure rational development of the electricity
distribution system within the region

- Operation and maintenance of Small Hydropower Plants
within the region

- Management of community based rural electrification
projects

Main Activities of Regional Offices
1. Loss Reduction Program

The problem of "Distribution Losses" was addressed by two
separate ways: Reduction of non-technical (commercial)
losses and reduction of technical losses. During the year
under review following steps which were taken in previous
years were continued to reduce the non-technical losses
especially at the bulk supply installations

- Installation of tamper proof meter enclosures and
refurbishment of metering facilities

- Implementation of meter enclosure seal management
system.

- Replacement of electro-mechanical meters with
programmable poly phase meters and replacement of
unmatched current transformers to eliminate possible
errors in multiplying factor.

During the year following steps were also taken as in previous
years to reduce non technical losses in different distribution
centers

- Investigations on illegal tappings and meter tempering
- Fixing meter enclosures for bulk supplies and 5-30A
supplies

Nepal Electricity Authority। 60

AYEAR IN REVIEW 1001 1707 2012/13

- Meter testing: Bulk/ Ordinary supplies

- Rehabilitation of meter cubicles

- Implementation of meter seal management system to
secure energy meters from tempering

- Replacement of bare conductor with ABC cables in loss
prone areas

During the FY 2012/13 strong measures were also taken to
reduce the electricity losses: mainly non-technical. The name
of the feeders having more than 50% loss was made public
in the first stage and public notice was issued mentioning
that load shedding hours for feeders having such loss will be
more than the normal load shedding hours. In the second
stage name of the feeders having more than 40% loss was
made public. In many distribution centers employees actively
participated in the national campaign of reducing the
electricity loss and this drive brought good results in many
areas.

A satisfactory result was obtained from the loss reduction
program this year. Loss reported by four regional offices are :
-  Attariya Regional Office : 15.19 % ( reduced by 1.49 %)
-  Butwal Regional Office : 20.41 % (reduced by 0.35 %)
- — Nepalgunj Regional Office: 19.10 % (reduced by 3.68 %
- Pokhara regional Office: 14.10 % (reduced by 0.76 %)

2. Energy Monitoring and Auditing of Distribution
Substations

Under this program energy meters were fixed at distribution
substations to measure the amount of energy distributed by
the substation. TOD meters installed at different substations
were downloaded to check and verify the data. The program
for installation of Bulk Supply Meters and the Metering Unit
was also continued in FY 2012/13

3. Customer Care:

Special efforts were taken to improve the service at the
customer interface points. The staffs took special efforts to
serve our valued customers effectively in the current year.
With the Queue Management System at some of the cash
collection centers, difficulties encountered by the customers
in queuing for making payments were minimized.

Tamakoshi- V Hydroelectric Project

The Tamakoshi-V Hydroelectric Project is a cascade
development of the Upper Tamakoshi HEP with tandem
operation. It is located approximately 170 km north east of
Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal and approximately 40 km
away from the district head-quarter of Dolkha District-
Charikot Bazaar. The newly constructed road connecting
Singate Bazaar and Lamabagar for the construction of Upper
Tamakoshi HEP passes from the both powerhouse and the
headwork sites of this project. Upper Tamakoshi Project has
recently built this access road.

Feasibility Study of this project was carried out by NEA in
fiscal year 2010/11. The project area is located on the right

bank of Tamakoshi River. This project does not need separate
headwork. It takes the discharge from the tailrace of the
Upper Tamakoshi Project through an underground inter
connection arrangement and conveyed to headrace tunnel
of this Project. An underground powerhouse is proposed at
Suri Dovan. The design discharge of the project is 66 m3/sec
and has installed capacity of 87 MW.

The general arrangement of the project comprises of
underground inter connection arrangement of headrace
tunnel with the tailrace tunnel of Upper Tamakoshi HEP. The
water from tailrace of Upper Tamakoshi HEP is diverted to
this interconnection system and conveyed to the 8.20 Km
long concrete lined headrace tunnel, a 122.38 m high drop
shaft, 41.44 m long pressure tunnel, 141.61 m long tailrace
tunnel, 54.55 m long tailrace canal and underground
powerhouse containing four vertical axis Francis turbines,
from where it is released into the Tamakoshi river at about
0.2 km downstream from the confluence of Tamakoshi River
and Khari Khola at Suri Dovan. With the availability of the
infrastructure developed for the Upper Tamakoshi HEP
particularly the access road and transmission line and also
being the cascade project of Upper Tamakoshi HEP, Tamakoshi
V HEP can be developed along with the construction of Upper
Tamakoshi HEP. With this the project can be commissioned
by five years from now and would be the milestone project
to overcome the load shedding in future.

For the speedy implementation of Tamakoshi V HEP, NEA has
the plan to carry out the Detailed Engineering Design of this
project in this fiscal year so that the project will be
implemented as earliest as possible. The project has initiated
the preparatory works for the Detailed Engineering Design

from the last fiscal year and planned to carry out the Detailed
Engineering Design in this fiscal year so that the project will
be implemented as earliest as possible. Preparation of project
for detailed engineering design that includes hydrological
Studies, camp facility study, preparation of EIA report and
preparation of EO] and RFP documents (Expression of Interest
and Request for Proposal) for the selection of international
consultant is ongoing.

In order to implement the project earliest possible and not
to interrupt the power generation from Upper Tamakoshi
Project during the construction of this project, MOU has been
signed between Project Development Department, NEA and
the Upper Tamakoshi Company to design and construct the
upper section of the Inter Connection System of two projects
by the Upper Tamakoshi Company through their respective
consultant and the contractors. The Executive Board of Upper
Tamakoshi Company has approved the issues mentioned in
the MOU. After the approval of MOU by the NEA Board the
interconnection system will be constructed in this fiscal year.

Upper Arun Hydroelectric Project

The Arun River is bestowed with high firm flow and steep
river gradient making very favorable for the hydropower
development. The Upper Arun Hydroelectric Project, which
lies on the upper reach of the Arun River, is one of the most
attractive projects in the Eastern Development Region of
Nepal. Based on the feasibility study carried out on 1991, the
installed capacity of Peaking Run-of -River type Upper Arun
HEP is 335 MW. The design discharge of the project is 78.8
m3/sec and generates the firm energy of 2050 GWh per
annum. The project has design head of 492 m. The total cost
of the project is US$ 479 Million. Similarly, this project has
an economic internal rate of return of 14.52 and specific
energy cost of the project is 1.90 cents/kWh.

Review Study of this project is carried out by NEA in 2011.

67। Nepal Electricity Authority

The project cost is revised based on the year 2011 unit rate,
prevailing road facilities which is already built up to Num
near the dam site of Arun 3 HEP and transmission line. The
total project cost at 2011 is estimated to be 445.54 M USS.
The review study also shows the increment in the annul
generation to 2734.2 GWh. This makes the project more
attractive than presented in the feasibility study.

The review study shows that the project is very attractive in
both cases either the project is constructed by NEA with the
loan from Nepal Government or the project is developed by
NEA by taking loan from the commercial bank. The estimated
energy cost of Rs. 2.10 per kWh as of 2011/12 is far below the
prevailing rate offered in power purchase agreement (PPA),
if the project is developed by NEA with finance from
international donor agencies. Likewise, the cut off energy
rate is Rs. 2.74 per kWh from the year 2020 on ward.

After the completion of the Review report in the year 2011,
the project initiated the preparatory works for the Detailed
Engineering Design. On 2069/11/04 B.S., the Cabinet of Nepal
Government gave permission to Nepal Electricity Authority
to implement Upper Arun Hydroelectric Project under the
Ownership of the Government of Nepal. In order to expedite
the implementation of the project, the project mobilized the
field team to the site and started the preparation of the works
that relates to the detailed engineering design of the Access
Road and the Hydropower components. Likewise, the work
related to the Environmental Impact Assessment of the project
is also initiated. NEA has the plan to carry out the Detailed
Engineering Design of this project in this fiscal year so that
the project will be implemented as earliest as possible. For
this, the process of selection of the Consulting is ongoing.
Preparation of EOl and RFP documents (Expression of Interest
and Request for Proposal) for the selection of international
consultant is ongoing.

Upper Modi A Hydroelectric Project

Upper Modi "A" HEP was identified during 1997 and the
Feasibility study of this project was completed in 2000. The
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the project was
approved in 2004. Presently this project is conceptualized to
develop as a 42 MW run of the river scheme.

This project is located approximately 250 km west of
Kathmandu in Kaski District of Gandaki Zone in the Western
Development Region of Nepal. Both the headworks and
powerhouse sites of the project are located in Ghandruk VDC.
The nearest road head to the project site is at Nayapul, about
38 Km west of Pokhara on Pokhara Banglung highway.
Approximately 10 km of gravel road and a trust bridge over
Modi Khola already constructed by the local VDC which
connects Nayapul to the powerhouse site at Saui Bazar.
Therefore, approximately 8.0 Km of access road needs to be
constructed from the powerhouse to the headwork site at
Himalku. Around 7.5 Km long 132 KV single circuit
transmission line will be required to evacuated 214.87 GWh
of generated annual energy to the INPS system at New Modi
Khola substation.

Nepal Government has prioritized Upper Modi "A" as P-1
project so that it could be constructed at the earliest possible
time. This project is conceptualized to develop in the
Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) model.
Presently, necessary documents (Expression of Interest and
Request for Proposal) are being prepared to hire an
international consultant to conduct a detailed study of the
project and to prepare EPC tender document along with the
construction supervision of the project. Similarly, land
acquisition process has been initiated; design and cost
estimation for camp facilities is finalized. Documents for the
pre-qualification of the contractors and contract document
for hiring contracts to construct camp building are being
prepared in this fiscal year.

This project is conceptualized to develop in Public Private
Partnership (PPP) model. Hence, Joint Development
Agreement (JDA) was signed between Nepal Electricity
Authority (NEA) and Korean Water Resources Corporation (K-
Water) with the provision of share to the local people for the
development of this project.

Dudhkoshi Storage Hydroelectric Project

Dudhkoshi Storage Hydroelectric Project (DKSHEP) was
initially identified during the preparation of the "Master Plan
Study on the Koshi River Basin for Water Resources
Development" funded by JICA in March 1985. The feasibility
study of the project was carried out in 1998 by Medium
Hydropower Study Project. The feasibility study proposed a
high dam at Dudhkoshi and the powerhouse at Baikhu Khola,
a tributory of Sunkoshi located far downstream of the
confluence of Dudhkoshi and Sunkoshi. The project is located
in Okhaldhunga and Khotang Districts.

Survey license was issued recently from the Department of
Electricity Development (DoED). However, the license required
the tailwater of the project to be released in the upstream of
the proposed Sunkoshi-Kamala Diversion head work so that
Sunkoshi-Kamala Diversion Project is not affected by the
development of DKSHEP. This constrain jeopardized the
development scheme proposed in the feasibility study and
left alone with the toe development scheme.
For the comparison purpose, the Toe Option as well as Tunnel
Option was analyzed and compared assuming full supply
level is 580 masl as conceived in feasibility study. The
comparison distinctly showed that the Tunnel Option is better
than the Toe Option even though considerable amount of
water is released downstream in the prime dry season for
Sunkoshi Kamala Diversion. Hence, the Tunnel Option could
not be ruled out for further study. Presently conceived layout
of the project for Tunnel Option will have the design discharge
of 167 cumecs with rated head of 247.13 meter. This will
generate 365 MW with 1928 GWh of annual energy. These
values correspond to the mandatory operation of 1937 hours
per annum out of which 81% is during dry season (November
to April). The project will comprises of a 160 m high dam wit
spillway on either sides, a power intake leading to a 13.3 km
long headrace tunnel, surge shaft, drop shaft, 140 m long
steel lined penstock tunnel, underground power cavern &
transformer cavern hoisting electromechanical equipments
for 5 units of 73 MW capacity, downstream surge chamber
and 300 meter long tailrace discharging turbine flows to
Baikhu Khola.

The study shows that there is possibility of increasing the
dam height in the present demand and supply scenario. With
the increase in dam height up to 220 meter, the project could
generate above 800 MW. However, the optimum capacity
will be ascertained in the next phase of study. For this purpose
the constrained in the license has to be relaxed and license
area has to be increased in the survey license.

project located between boundary of Gorkha and Dhading
districts in Central/ Western Development region of Nepal.
The Budhi Gandaki Hydroelectric Project is located on the
Budhi Gandaki River, approximately 2 km from its confluence
with Trishuli River at Benighat, about 80 km south west of
Kathmandu.

The Government of Nepal carried out the prefeasibility study
of the project in 1984. Three options were studied in the
prefeasibility: one with Arch dam and powerhouse at toe of
the dam and another with rock fill dam and tailrace at Budhi
Gandki River itself a little downstream and the final one with
rock fill dam and tailrace at Trisuli River. The prefeasibility
study recommended the final option. The selected scheme
in the prefeasibility study consists of a 225 m high rock fill
dam, reservoir covering an area of 49.8 km2 at the full supply
level (FSL) of 520 masl and having gross storage volume of
3,320 X 106 m3 at FSL, a spillway of discharge capacity of
12,827 m3/s in the right abutment, a headrace tunnel of 276
m length, and underground powerhouse with an installed
capacity of 600 MW and average annual energy generation
of 2495 GWH, a tailrace tunnel of 1.1 km length with a surge
chamber.

After a gap of 24 years, Budhi Gandaki Storage HEP was taken
up for further study in fiscal year 2009/10. NEA carried out
hydrological studies and investigations, topographical survey
including fixation of survey control points monumentations,
preliminary environmental and social study, and so on. The
study also identified alternative locations of the project
facilities/structures with a view to achieve optimum utilization
of hydropower power potential of the project site. An
alternative location of tailrace near Fisling around 22 km
downstream of the Benighat in Trisuli river has been identified,
which would result in additional head gain of about 40 m
yielding additional energy generation of up to 700 GWh.
About 8.7 km of additional tunnel needs to be constructed
for this option.

An agreement was signed between Nepal Electricity Authority
and M/S Tractebel Engineering S.A., France on December 2,
2012 for consulting services with the objective of preparing
the project for implementation from the current status of
pre-feasibility study. The overall objective of the consulting
services is to carryout necessary field investigation including
1800m core drilling and 600m test adits, LIDAR mapping of
the reservoir area and its periphery; to upgrade the existing
pre-feasibility study of Budhi Gandaki Hydropower Project
to a feasibility level; and to prepare Environmental Impact
Assessment, Social Impact Assessment, Environmental
Management Plan. The scope of consulting services also

Uttar Ganga Storage Project

The Government of Nepal (GoN) has given a priority for the
development of storage type hydropower projects and
accordingly NEA has initiated the "Selection and Feasibility
Study of Storage Projects" across the country under funding
of GON. Uttar Ganga Storage Project is one of such potential
projects, for which NEA has proposed to initiate the feasibility
study in the fiscal year 2011/12. The proposed project lies in
Baglung District of Dhaulagiri Zone in Western Development
Region (WDR) of Nepal. The dam site is located at Gaba Village,
of Nisi VDC, whereas the powerhouse site is situated on left
bank of Nisi Khola nearby Kaigau Village of Nisi VDC. The
powerhouse site is accessible by Burtibang-Nishi road. About
25 km long access road from Boban, the nearest roadhead,
will be required to reach the dam site.

The application for the survey license of generation was
submitted to DoEd in the F/Y 2011/12. As the dam and
reservoir area of the project are located within Dhorpatan
Hunting Reserve, pre-approval is required from Ministry of
Forest and Land Conservation for conducting the feasibility
study. Though the application for the same has been
submitted, the approval from the Ministry has not been
received yet. However, the third meeting of Project Facilitation
Committee under the Office of Prime Minister and Cabinet
chaired by the Chief Secretary on April 29, 2013 decided to
prepare the Detail Project Report (DPR) and Environmental
Impact Study of the project. Accordingly, NEA has again made
a request to DoED for the survey license of generation
submitting the required additional license fee and prepared
the project status report in the F/Y 2012/13.

View of Reservoir Area of Utter Ganga Storage Project
The major components of the project are 145 m high rock
fill dam, sloping type intake, 9,800 m long headrace tunnel,
circular restricted orifice surge shaft, 3,900 m long inclined
pressure shaft and horizontal tunnel and an underground
powerhouse on the right bank of Nisi Khola. The installed
capacity of the project has been computed as 300 MW on

basis of 16 hours in dry season (November-May) and 6 hours
in wet season (June-October) operation. The annual energy
generation from the project after outage and losses will be
1,269.4 GWh of which the firm energy (all dry season energy
from November to May and peak wet season energy from
June to October) is 1.252.0 GWh and the secondary energy
(off peak wet season energy from June to October) is 17.4
GWh. The energy generated from the project will be evacuated
to the INPS at the proposed Kusma sub-station through 85
km long 220 kV transmission line. The distinct features of the
project are as follows:

- Availability of very high effective head of up to 1,310 m
making the project very cost effective;

- — High Run Off Capacity Factor (RCF) of 62% facilitating
the much flexibility in reservoir operation;

- Less sediment yield of 2,750 t/km2/year thereby
increasing the life of the reservoir;

-  Inundation of only 250 ha of cultivated land and
resettlement of 260 households thus having
comparatively less socio-environmental impacts.

The total cost of project has been updated as USS 775,139,203
at the price level of June, 2013 excluding interest during
construction (IDC) and other financial costs. The economic
indicators EIRR of 12.91 and B/C of 1.30, as well as financial
indicators FIRRof15.2 and B/C of 1.16 show that project is
viable for development.

Kaligandaki Storage Project

Kaligandaki Storage Project lies in Nawalparashi district of
Western Development Region of Nepal. The project site is
located in Kaligandaki River, about 25km upstream from
Devghat where the Kaligandaki joins the Trishuli river Basin.
The pre-feasibility of Project was completed in 1985. The site
of this project lies approximately 30 km from Gaindakot,
Nawal-parasi via earthen road.

The Project is in its initial stage of feasibility study with site
reconnaissance and hydrological study performed till this
fiscal year. The pre-feasibility study has recommended a 177
m high rockfill dam on Kaligandaki River, at Khalte and the
powerhouse located at the toe of dam. The dam will create
a reservoir of 106.5 sq.km with full supply level at 375 masl
with gross capacity of 5200 M m3. The study proposed the
project with installed capacity of 660 MW with annual firm
energy of 3470 GWh.

Pre-feasibility Review Study has been carried out till date
which included update of hydrological study, reservoir
simulation, and cost estimate for pre-feasibility design. A
gauging station has been established just upstream of the
proposed dam site of the project. The further study of the
project is planned to be carried out in on coming fiscal years.

Andhi Khola Storage Hydroelectric Project

Andhi Khola Storage Hydroelectric Project is a medium sized
storage scheme situated on Andhi khola, a tributary of Kali
Gandaki River in the Gandaki Basin. The dam site is located
at about 1.6 Km upstream of confluence Kali Gandaki River
and Andhi Khola whereas, powerhouse site is located on the
left bank of Kali Gandaki River, about 12 Km downstream of
the Kali Gandaki-A powerhouse.

The Feasibility Study of this project was carried out by NEA
in 1998. As per the study, the Project will generate an annual
average energy of 693 GWh with installed capacity of 180
MW. NEA has applied for survey license of this project in the
fiscal year 2010/11. After commissioning of Kaligandaki-A
HEP, the full supply level of Kali Gandaki-A encroached the
dam site of this Project. In view of this, the Project
Development Department (PDD) carried out a topographical
survey of new dam site and powerhouse site in the fiscal year
2011/12. In the fiscal year 2012/13, the PDD carried out the
project alternative study with new dam site and two
powerhouse options and prepared the Interim Upgraded
Report. The study indicated that the powerhouse having
short tunnel option will be more economical than power
house with longer tunnel. Further, the study shows that the
Project with the new dam site is not so economically attractive.
In addition, the construction of powerhouse of Andhi Khola

AYEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ. 1707 2012/123

will diverts the flow which will affect the Kali Gandaki-A's dry
energy. So, the further study has to be carried out in the
coming year. In this study the dam with power house at toe
option also should be considered.

BAGMATI STORAGE HYDROELECTRIC PROJECT

Bagmati Storage Hydroelectric Project is a storage type
hydropower project on the Bagmati river which is located
about 70 km south-east of Kathmandu. Nepal Electricity
Authority has submitted a 'Review of Feasibility Study and
Status Report, July 2012' of Bagmati Storage Hydroelectic
Project. According to this study, this project will have 418MW
installed capacity which generates total energy as 829 GWh
for 6 hour operation in Dry peak period and 6 hour operation
in Wet peak period.

In February 1981 AD a Feasibility study 'phase-I' of 'Bagmati
Multipurpose Project' has been carried out by Government
of Nepal with an objective of development of hydropower,
irrigation, flood and erosion control and agriculture
development. The proposed Dam site of Bagmati Storage
Hydroelectric Project is located approximately 3km upstream
of Bagmati Bridge of East West Highway at Karmainya in the
Bagmati River at the district borders between of Makawanpur
and Sindhuli district of Nepal. The latitude and longitude of
the proposed Dam site are 21030' East and 85030' North
respectively. An Irrigation barrage has already been
constructed at Karmaiya and has been providing irrigation
facility to 68000 hectares of land in Tarai and it aims to irrigate
122,000 hectares. To meet the target of irrigation, a storage
reservoir is required to regulate the water in the dry season.
According to the Phase। study, a 117m high Rockfill dam
will be constructed creating reservoir Storage in the Bagmati
River to generate total energy of 540 GWh in the dry season
with an installed capacity of 140MW. Since, Kulekhani-1 and
KL-2 are the only seasonal storage project in Nepal which has
been meeting the peak power demand of the country for
almost three decades, there is an immediate need to develop
new storage power projects to fulfill the country's need for
the peak load demand. Therefore, review of Bagmati Storage
has been made in several steps.

AYEAR IN REVIEW 17:01 1707 2012/123

Proposed Dam site of Bagmati Storage Hydroelectric Project
Firstly, JICA expert for NEA has made a 'Review study of
Feasibility study Phase-lI' for installed capacity of 140 MW In
2011. This study result shows that it can generate firm energy
of 248 GWh and Secondary energy of 381Gwh with total
energy of 629 GWh, so that the water release will meet the
demand for irrigation of 120000 ha land. The total cost of
project has been estimated as 600 MUSS with B/C as 0.95.
Secondly, 'Review of Feasibility Study and Status Report, July
2012' has been prepared by NEA. In this study, optimization
of Bagamati Storage Hydroelectric Project has been carried
out for ten different options. The optimum capacity found in
this study has been 418MW installed capacity which generates
total energy of 830GWh with Dry peak energy as 498 GWh
and Wet peak energy as 331 GWh. This scheme will have Dam
height 112m above foundation with Dam Top Level at
247masl with toe dam Power house. The Gross head fluctuates
from 102m to 83m with reservoir area covering more than
100 sq.km. The design discharge fluctuates from 582 to 476
cumecs. There will be 6 units of each 7OMW capacity turbine
Generator. The total cost of Project including environmental
resettlement cost is found to be 875 M USS. The B/C and IRR
are obtained as 1.575 and 14.92 respectively.
Finally, a 'Subsequent Status Report Summary of Bagmati
Storage Hydroelectric Project 2013' has been prepared which
found that the optimized capacity of 138 MW for the case of
24 hour dry period operation and 6 hour wet peak period
operation will generate 661 GWh energy in dry period and
119 GWh in wet period and the total project cost has been
estimated as 890 MUSS (B/C 1.547).

The optimized capacities from two optimization studies found
that the project can be developed as either 418 MW or 138
MW capacities. Despite of some adverse environmental
impacts identified due to need of resettlement of about two
thousand houses both capacities are found to be with benefit
capacity ration higher than 1.547. Based on present peak
time demand of electric energy in the country, 418 MW
installed capacity option has been recommended for future
study.

Kali Gandaki 'A' Model Test Project

Kali Gandaki % Hydropower Project (KGA) was commissioned
in August 2002. It has an installed capacity of 144 MW and
is the largest hydropower project in operation in Nepal till
date. From the very beginning year of its operation, the power
station has been facing problems related to floating debris
and sediment at its headworks. The hydraulic performance
of the headworks and desander has also been below par
leading to unexpected damage to turbines and other hydro
mechanical parts resulting in frequent shutdowns for repair
and this has caused a loss in the overall generation from the
project. To identify the cause behind these problems and to

73। Nepal Electricity Authority

propose appropriate remedial measures, the World Bank has
provided financial assistance to conduct a physical hydraulic
model study of the KGA headworks. Hydro Lab Pvt. Ltd. has
been appointed to carry out the physical model study.

The consultant collected necessary data, reports and field
measurements required for the model study. Then, the
consultant constructed the model of the Kaligandaki A
headworks at 1:40 scale and simulated various flow scenarios
at the premises of Hydrolab Pvt. Ltd. at Pulchowk, Lalitpur.
The consultant has simulated various possible modifications
and recommended the possible modifications for
improvement of sediment and debris handling at headworks
and desander of KGA. The consultant has submitted the final
report and the model test study have been accomplished.

Central Activities

AYEAR IN REVIEW - (SQ GT 2012/13

Information Technology Department

The Information Technology Department headed by a Director
has completed a fruitful year with the introduction of new,
innovative IT services, continuous ICT maintenance / support
and further enhancements and expansions of its fiber and
wireless network infrastructure and server Systems.
During the year under review, the Department has posted
more than 300 tenders through its portal making transparent
the procurement system of NEA. With modification of CAIS
software and codification of new branches ID's, compilation
of financial data business-unit wise is now finally achieved.
Other important activities carried out by the Department in
fiscal year 2012/13 are:

1. Revenue collection portal setup and tested
from far west region.

Traditionally, updates of revenue collection of NEA used to
be made through banks and revenue collection centers and
would take weeks if not months to get update and compiled.
A revenue collection portal site has been made accessible
through the NEA intranet site www.nea.org/revenue and the
website http://nea.org.np/revenue/ . Calendar Grid view of
the portal shows the total revenue collected by the region
up to this day and the details of revenue collected each day
by the distribution centers of the region. The system is being
tested from far west region and is found to be very efficient.
The application has also been designed to capture overall
DCS activities including line collection/disconnection details,
leakage, generation, accidents & electrocution etc. Various
channels such as Virtual private network client, direct posting
into the sight are made available for easy and quick posting
of the data.

2. SMS complain system setup and tested.

In addition to the traditional complaint lodging system using
two way telephonic conversations, Interactive voice response
(IVR) and complains through HELLO SARKAR, NEA has
launched a new service that would allow the stakeholders
to register complain using Nepal Telecom MOBILE SMS
service.

As per the understanding reached, NTC will charge NEA
seventy paisa for each SMS received but the service is to be
free for the SMS generating mobiles. A final agreement
regarding the payment scheme is to be signed with NTC.
The software required for this system is already developed
by the IT department and deployed. The system is also tested
by the joint team of NTC and NEA.

In addition to the traditional complain system using two way
telephonic conversations, Interactive voice response (IVR)
and complains through HELLO SARKAR, NEA has launched a
new service that would allow the stakeholders to complain
using NTC MOBILE SMS service.

3. Video conferencing system (VC) launched.

To reduce the travel cost and the employees/ executive time
saving from travel delays, NEA has launched a multi presence
Video conferencing system. The system is intended to be
used for Giving directives, remote trainings, disseminating
information, conducting regular meetings with regional
chiefs. In the context of NEA owning quite a length of optical
fiber cables, VC may become a very important tool for saving
expenditure and valuable time.

During the year, NEA repaid borrowings of NRs. 1,500 million
towards the cost of "NEA Power Bond, 2069" secured against

lien 1८25 equity shares in Chilime Hydropower Company
Ltd. Similarly,NEA repaid the whole amount of short-term
borrowings of NRs. 2,000 million taken from local banks.
However, NEA borrowed NRs 1,200 million as short term loans
from local banks to meet the working capital requirement
for FY 2012/13.

During FY 2012/13, NEA received NRs. 4,547.07 million from
the Government of Nepal as equity investment in various
generation, transmission and distribution projects. NEA also
received NRs.279.69 million as reimbursement for losses
incurred on energy imports from India to reduce power cuts
during the dry season of FY 2012/13. Similarly, NRs 277.82
million was received as subsidies against fuel for thermal
plants. As per the instruction of GoN, these amounts have
been accounted as GON equity.

During FY 2012/13 NEA paid NRs. 1,000 million as royalties.
The outstanding royalty up to FY 2012/13 has been almost
cleared.

NEA is required to achieve a number of covenants in respect
of borrowing from the donor agencies. Major covenants
related to financial performance are Rate of Return (RoR) of
(6%),Self Financing Ratio (SFR) of (23%), Debt Service
Coverage Ratio (DSCR) of (1.2 times), Average Collection
Period (ACP) of (<3month). In FY 2012/13, NEA achieved RoR
of (0.29%), SFR of (4.36%), DSCR of (0.59%) and ACP of (3.66
month ) resulting in defaults .

In FY 2011/12, Electricity Tariff Fixation Commission (ETFC)
approved to increase tariff by 20 percent in average. While
revising the tariff, ETFC instructed NEA to comply with certain
conditions regarding loss reduction, inventory management,
receivables management and administrative reform. The tariff
revision brought in positive impact on NEA's operational and
financial performance but not to the dsesired level. Therefore,
NEA has again submitted the tariff petition for upward
adjustment of up to 20 % on existing tariff structure in FY
2012/13. The proposed tariff petition is under consideration
at ETFC.

Accounting Policies

Constitution and Ownership

Nepal Electricity Authority ('NEA') was incorporated on 16
August 1985 under the Nepal Electricity Authority Act, 1984,
through the merger of the Department of Electricity of
Ministry of Water Resources, Nepal Electricity Corporation
and related Development Boards. The merger was
necessitated to remedy the inherent weaknesses associated
with these fragmented electricity organizations with
overlapping and duplication of works.

1 Significant Accounting Policies
1.1 Basis of preparation of Financial Statements

a. The financial statements have been prepared in
accordance with Nepal Accounting Standards (NAS)
and Generally Accepted Accounting Principles and
practices following historical cost conventions. These
standards and practices are substantially in line with
the principles set out in IFRS.

The preparation of financial statements requires NEA's
management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the reported balance of assets and liabilities,
revenues and expenses and disclosures relating to the
contingent liabilities. The management believes that
the estimates used in preparation of the financial
statements are prudent and reasonable and
management is aware that future results could differ
from these estimates. Any revision to accounting
estimates is recognised prospectively in the current and
future periods. Examples of such estimates include
provision for employee benefits, net realisable value of
inventory, diminution in value of long-term investments
and non-recoverability of receivable balances etc.

9. The figures for the previous year are rearranged and
reclassified wherever necessary for the purpose of
comparison.

c. Appropriate disclosures are made for the effect of any
change in accounting policy, accounting estimate and
adjustment of error

d. The financial statements are prepared, generally, on

1.2

1.3

1.4

817/1.41,14/ ISCAL YEAR 2012/13

For the year ended July 15, 2013

accrual basis. However, some income and expenses are
accounted on a cash basis, for practical reasons.
Management believes that the impact of recognising
those revenues on accrual basis will not be materially
different from the current practice.

Management has applied estimation while presenting
financial statements. Such specific estimates are
disclosed in individual sections wherever they have
been applied.

Foreign Currency Transactions

The transactions in foreign currency are recognised at
the prevailing rate on transaction date.

The balances of monetary assets and liabilities in foreign
currencies are translated at closing rate. The resulting
gain or loss due to the translation is taken to profit and
loss.

Functional and Presentation Currency

Items included in the financial statements of the
Company are measured and presented using the
currency of the primary economic environment in which
the Company operates (the functional currency), which
is the Nepalese Rupees (indicated as NRs. in short).

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property plant and equipment are stated at cost of
acquisition and/or cost of construction less accumulated
depreciation. The cost of property, plant and equipment
include cost of acquisition or construction/erection
together with other incidental costs and charges
attributable to bringing the asset to its working
condition for its intended use and also include
borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition,
construction/erection of qualifying asset.

The incidental costs include proportionate overheads
relating to the following offices at the rates given below:
(a) Planning 50%
(b) Distribution and Consumer 10%

Assets Category

(a) Land
(b)। Buildings

Depreciation

Depreciation is provided on Property, Plant and
Equipment, except land, on straight-line basis, which
reflects the estimated useful lives of those assets. The
rates of depreciation applied on property, plant and
equipment are as follows:

fixtures

Office Equipment 5
Miscellaneous properties 50
Additions during the year 50% of applicable rates

Capital Work in Progress (CWIP)

All expenditures in developing property, plants and
equipments not yet completed or not ready to use are
categorised as CWIP. The value of Capital works-in-
progress includes stock of equipment lying in store or
in transit for the purpose of use in the construction or
development. It also includes the balances with
contractors and suppliers for the value yet to be received.
These are capitalised upon commissioning or identified
as being ready to use.

Investments in Shares

All investments in shares are carried at cost. Write-
downs are made for impairment, if any, in the value of
such investments.

1.7Inventories

a.

Inventories include goods in hand being held for use,
sale or as spares.

Inventories are valued at lower of cost or net realisable
value, using the weighted average method.

99। Nepal Electricity Authority

Net realizable value is the sale price as estimated by the
management in the ordinary course of business, less
estimated costs, if any, necessary to make the sale.
Further, adjustments are made for those inventories
identified by management as obsolete or otherwise.

1.8 Trade Receivables

Trade receivable are stated at carrying values except for
those identified by the management as being doubtful
on recovery. Such estimations for doubtful recovery are
reviewed by the management regularly.

1.9Cash and Cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are carried at cost. They
include cash-in-hand, cash-in-transit (bank transfers
and cheques in collection which are collected in the
subsequent period), and deposits with banks in the
various forms of deposit accounts which may or may
not bear interest, but which are not of the nature of
investments.
