March 9, 2010Mr Bihari Krishna ShresthaDear BiharijeeThe problem related to granting a license for 300 MW only for a site with optimum capacity of 4,180 MW can be explained "away" in two partsOne, people in DoED act rather mechanically on the basis of application received. There are many more licenses issued at the installed capacity as "demanded" by the applicant instead of issuing at its optimum capacity. Someone with some time on hand can easily unearth these. In the case of upper Karnali, they didn't even refer to a study conducted with World Bank funding for NEA where it is categorically mentioned that developing the site at 300 MW is mutually exclusive of 4,180 MW. You must be aware that the applicant is required to pay some "fees" based on the installed capacity applied for. Hence, the lower the capacity, the lesser amount the applicant has to shell out. This is one form of treason. Nepal's best interest will be served by ensuring optimum exploitation of water resource projects
