KATHMANDU: Energy Minister Pampha Bhusal has said that the Nepal government is preparing for the export of electricity to Bangladesh.

Speaking to reporters in Chitwan, she said that electricity will be exported to Bangladesh this year. Currently, Nepal has been selling electricity to India.

“So far we have only exported electricity to India. Now Bangladesh is also being exported,’ Minister Bhusal said, ‘It has been agreed to share in hydropower production and 50 megawatts of electricity will go to Bangladesh from this year.’

Informing that energy is going to be made as a means of production and it is free for the people below the poverty line, she informed that the price has been reduced for household purposes and 75 percent tariff has been reduced in agriculture and irrigation.
