Nepal began exporting electricity to Bangladesh on November 15, marking the first time the Himalayan nation has exported electricity to a third country other than India.

A total of 40 megawatts of power from Nepal was sent to Bangladesh via an Indian transmission line after officials from the three countries conducted a remote start ceremony in Kathmandu, the Economic Times reported, following a tripartite agreement signed earlier this month.

The partnership not only demonstrates infrastructure connectivity but also demonstrates the potential of South Asia to promote the use of renewable energy sources.

Currently, the export will only take place on one day in 2024 due to capacity constraints on the Indian transmission system linking Bangladesh, according to Nepal Electricity Authority spokesman Chandan Kumar Ghosh.

However, Nepal will continue to supply electricity to Bangladesh from June 15 to November 15 every year for the next five years. As new lines are built, Nepal can increase its export volume in the future.

With a surplus of hydropower during the rainy season, Nepal has become an early supplier of electricity to India since 2021. Expanding exports to Bangladesh will not only help Nepal make better use of its national resources but also bring in a large source of revenue, promoting sustainable economic growth.

This is also a positive sign for Bangladesh, which is looking for new energy sources to meet the needs of its rapidly growing economy. At the same time, this move also reflects regional cooperation efforts to deal with energy and climate challenges.
