Nepal is set to export 40 MW of electricity to Bangladesh through an Indian transmission line starting from Saturday midnight.
Nepal, India, and Bangladesh signed a trilateral agreement in October 2024 to export electricity produced by Nepal to Bangladesh via the Indian transmission line.
Under the agreement, Nepal will export 40 MW of electricity from June 15 to Nov. 15 through India's 400-kV Muzaffarpur-Baharampur-Bheramara transmission line.
The electricity will be transmitted to Bangladesh at 12 a.m. on June 15.
Nepal will charge $6.4 cents per unit of electricity to Bangladesh as per the bilateral agreement.
Bangladesh has agreed to import electricity from Nepal for the next five years.
