Kali Gandaki “A” Hydroelectric Project

Consider projects with sufficient storage capacity to better address load shedding, which continues to affect economic growth and living standards. To consider such projects, greater knowledge of technical aspects, including geology, hydrology (including extreme events), and sedimentation, should be developed by financing agencies and/or developers. Future projects will also need greatly improved environmental and social impact assessment and implementation, bearing in mind that much of the development of future hydro projects may be undertaken by the private sector or as public–private partnerships, which will require far more streamlined approaches to addressing environmental and social impacts.
