Digital Lunch Talk on the Importance of Hydro Power for Nepal and Beyond

Nepal, with its vast river systems and mountainous terrain, holds immense potential for hydropower generation. The country is eager to increase its own hydropower capacities tenfold and is active in attracting substantial foreign direct investments (FDI). As the country seeks to harness this natural resource, hydropower has emerged as a key driver for economic growth, energy security, and sustainable development. However, the benefits and challenges of hydropower extend beyond Nepal's borders, influencing regional cooperation, energy trade, and environmental sustainability.

We cordially invite you to participate in this webinar organized by the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom, in collaboration with OAV. Together, we will explore the crucial role of hydropower in Nepal's development. What broader impacts does this energy source have on the region? How can we achieve a balance between economic development and sustainability? Additionally, we will discuss how Germany can support hydropower projects in Nepal and the surrounding area.

The online session will be conducted in English language. For more details and to register, please visit here.
