India Supplies Emergency Power to Nepal After Floods Wreck Hydropower Projects The recent floods that devastated Nepal's hydropower infrastructure have exposed the country's precarious energy situation.
The disaster has forced Nepal to seek a temporary reprieve from its traditional partner, India, which is now preparing to send 654 megawatts of electricity per day for three months.
At least 12 major hydropower projects were severely damaged or destroyed in the August floods on the China Nepal border, leaving thousands without power and displacing countless others.
