Welcome!

Nepal is blessed with vast hydropower potential. However, it has not been successful in exploiting much of it yet for many reasons.

Continuous effort is necessary to achieve the sustainable development of the nation's potential in small and medium-sized hydroelectric projects.

Environmental and social sensitivity, will also be needed, to promote hydroelectric projects, using the best established, and where appropriate also innovative, technologies.

We believe that this can be achieved by co-operation between local groups and international organisations in the planning, financing, construction, and operation of these projects as needed to bring success to the industry.

This Web Site

This web site is for all those “Friends of Hydroelectric Power” who want to know more about the opportunities for small and medium sized projects which the government of Nepal supports, and most importantly for those who actively seek information on commercial investment opportunities in these projects, in collaboration with local Nepalese companies.

Invest in Value

Investment in the best hydroelectric projects is an investment in true value. The wisest investors seek value in shares. Shares in hydroelectric projects harness renewable resources in an area of the world where the mountainous conditions are superb for cost beneficial hydroelectric projects. The high value of the resources harnessed surely cannot also fail to rise further in a world of rapidly increasing electricity demand, where sustainability concerns (including global warming) will place an increasing premium on such energy sources.

Make an Ethical Investment

Investment in these projects is already a highly ethical investment, even before one considers the situation in Nepal, and nearby India and China, where each year’s annual increase in energy demand continuously outstrips availability, limiting economic activity and the social benefits which a stronger economy should bring.

However, it is not even, in most rural areas of Nepal, simply a question of demand and supply at all. In most country areas, there is as yet no power supply available, so these schemes will provide a massive bonus in employment and social benefits if local supply grids are extended as a result.

These are benefits which those of us who live in the developed (and almost completely electric “powered”) nations, simply take for granted, and should pause for a few moments to appreciate.
