Nepal electricity debt recovery demands

Overview

Pressure has mounted in Nepal regarding the recovery of billions of rupees in unpaid electricity dues owed by various sectors. Initially, Ujyalo Nepal Party Chair Kulman Ghising urged the government to recover premium electricity charges from industries using dedicated and trunk transmission lines, criticizing the administration for failing to enforce the law while households face VAT on consumption.

Following these calls, five trade unions representing the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) issued a three-day ultimatum to the NEA Board. The unions demanded the recovery of outstanding debts related to street lighting, dedicated lines, and trunk lines, warning that failure to retrieve these funds could jeopardize the authority’s financial stability and its capacity to invest in energy infrastructure and cross-border power trade.
