Bangladesh wants to export electricity to Nepal in winter, import hydropower in summer​

Bangladesh has offered to export electricity to Nepal in the winter season and import its hydropower in summer.

In a bilateral meeting with Nepal delegates today, State Minister for Power, Energy and Mineral Resources Nasrul Hamid placed the proposal, according to a ministry press release.


On the other hand, Pampha Bhusal, Nepali Minister for Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation, urged Bangladesh to invest in Nepal to harness its hydropower potentials.

The press release said, Bangladesh is importing power from India and finalised the procedure to import hydropower from Nepal. It is also in the procedure to sign a memorandum with Bhutan to import hydropower.

Nasrul Hamid said Nepal faces low power production in the winter season. If they import power from Bangladesh, both the countries will be benefited, he added.

He also said it is possible to increase the use of renewable energy through regional cooperation.

"Bangladesh wants to increase the share of using renewable and clean energy at 50 percent by 2040. The cooperation of Nepal and Bhutan will play key roles in this regard," he added.

Without submitting proper data how this Nasrul Hamid assumes there will be a glut of power in BD in winter? This type of biased big talking is good when the audiences are some of our PDF members who falsely claim living in London and the BD peasants, but not good for a bilateral meeting.

Talking like this just another idiotic BD style "Baat ki Baat".

This Nasrul with a peasant background should stick to the main theme of discussion, that is to import Napali power throughout the year with a very little seasonal fluctuation.

A hydropower station is designed to produce the same amount of power (megawatts) entire length of a year. Big reservoirs are built for this purpose. I hope, our fake European flag holders and minister Nasrul understand this.

Nepalese delagates will be surprised to meet a BD minister whose knowledge on power is not above a peasant unable to differentiate between volt, ampere, ohms, watts and kilowatt hours (KWh).
