The Himalayan country has been devastated by the floods and landslides induced by heavy rainfall with the onset of monsoon in the last week.<\/p>\n
Apart from causing loss of human life, the floods have caused severe damage to infrastructure and property.<\/p>\n
According to the Independent Power Producers\u2019 Association, Nepal (IPPAN), the monsoon-induced hazards have wrecked many hydropower projects, causing around NPR 10 billion loss.<\/p>\n
The financial loss was attributed to the damage caused to the powerhouses, dams, transmission line poles, and connecting roads.<\/p>\n
The Super Madi Hydropower Project is the most affected infrastructure, informed IPPAN President Krishna Prasad Acharya.<\/p>\n

The IPPAN has urged the Nepali Government to draft a high-level mechanism, comprising officials from the Ministry of Home Affairs, Finance, and Energy, to calculate actual damages to the hydropower projects.<\/p>\n
The Association has also requested Nepal Electricity Authority to act swiftly to safeguard its substations and prevent possible disruption in electric supply.<\/p>\n
