40 MW of electricity exported to Bihar.

Nepal has begun supplying energy to the Indian state of Bihar for the first time. The Nepal Electricity Authority reports that as of last Thursday, electricity exports to Bihar were underway. The authority's executive director, Kulman Ghising, affirmed that Bihar had begun exporting 40 megawatts of electricity.

He declared, "We have permission to export 125 megawatts of electricity to Bihar. We have started exporting 40 megawatts from the Kataiya-Kushhawa transmission line." We intend to progressively raise the amount.

In accordance with the mid-term agreement, the authority is exporting electricity to the state of Bihar through PTC, India. The Indian Embassy stated on August 3 that in accordance with the bilateral agreement, Nepal has received approval to export 251 megawatts of electricity to the Indian states of Bihar and Haryana.

The Central Electricity Authority, under the Ministry of Electricity of India, had approved the authority to export 125 MW to Bihar and 125 MW to the state of Haryana. The authority claims that the power export of the 14.4 MW Modi, 14.453 MW Mayakhola, and 11.64 MW Dudhkund projects has begun. Ghising states that electricity from other approved projects will also be exported gradually.

In addition to the three projects already mentioned, 11.64 MW Dordi-1, 9.991 MW Piluwa Down, 10.67 MW Khare Lower, 11.64 MW Khimti Upper, 6.8 MW Khimti-2 Upper, 14.6 MW Gandak, 19.21 MW The megawatt Upper Solu hydropower project has got approval to export 125 megawatts of electricity to Bihar. Through the transmission lines that connect Kataiya, Raxaul, and Ramnagar points to Bihar, electricity will be exported. Ghising stated that the Kataiya transmission line is currently used to export electricity.

The Haryana state distribution business is purchasing an additional 125.89 MW of electricity produced by two hydropower projects from the Authority. 109 MW of power are now being sold by the authority to the state of Haryana. The Authority's spokesperson, Chandan Kumar Ghosh, claims that tomorrow will mark the beginning of sales after receiving approval because they have already been providing electricity to Haryana. "We have been selling electricity to Haryana since before," he remarked. As a result, the sale of the electricity was delayed even after we received approval.

From June to October each year, the administration will sell the extra monsoon electricity to Bihar and Haryana following domestic consumption. In addition, 360 megawatts of electricity will be sold to India's state-level distribution corporations in accordance with the mid-term agreement. The Authority states that 10% more can be sold in the event that a 941 megawatt electricity export approval is granted. The organization states that approximately 800 MW of electricity are exported daily. The mid-term accord states that we are unable to accomplish this from below. "We are selling excess electricity through internal consumption even in the competitive market," Ghosh stated. "We have just begun sending 40 megawatts of electricity to Bihar; the remaining amount will go slowly."

Up until October of next year, electricity will be sold at 8 rupees 72 paisa (5.45 bharu) per unit. For the 109 MW that were approved for sale to Haryana last year, the pricing per unit was Rs 8 40 paise (5.25 bharu). This means that the Authority will not be responsible for any leaks, trading margin, transmission line costs to India, or other taxes or tariffs.

After being used domestically, the authority has started exporting the electricity conserved during the rainy season to India. The state of Haryana purchases energy from India's Energy Exchange (IX) at competitive prices in the real-time, day-ahead, and mid-term power contracts markets. The competitive market and the mid-term agreement state that 28 projects will create 941 MW of power that will be sold in the Indian market.

July, the first month of the current fiscal year 081/82, saw the export of energy to India valued at 4.19 billion rupees. The Authority has made 4,193,939,24,000 rupees in July by selling the excess electricity that the nation uses to India. In July, daily exports of electricity of Rs 13 crore 11 lakh were made. The average tariff of power exported in July, according to the authority, was 8 rupees 51 paise per unit.

Because the country's river-flowing hydropower facilities produce less electricity during the dry season and the river's water flow declines, the authority imported 1.89 billion units of electricity from India in the most recent fiscal year, or 16.93 billion rupees. However, 1.95 billion units of power were exported to India during this time, bringing in 17.6 billion rupees. Over 13 million rupees more in electricity was exported than imported during the previous fiscal year.
