Power Summit 2023

What is Power Summit?

A mega event organized triennial to contribute to the development of the energy sector of Nepal. Nepal has a hydropower potential of 83,000 MW and only a small fraction of it has been developed. There is a colossal opportunity to develop this sector with burgeoning energy demand in the South Asian Region.

The Power Summit provides a chance to deepen relations, strike deals, B2B meetings, and get the business done.It is a hub that provides the needed momentum to move the energy sector in Nepal forward to attain its full potential. It provides a platform that helps to galvanize efforts and generate the needed synergy to fuel the growth in Asia through Nepal’s indigenous hydro resources.

The summit allows the participants to explore avenues of cooperation as well as the legal, regulatory and infrastructural requirements to come up with technical solutions for expanding supply, consumption and optimizing our resources. The summit also allows the participants to address the issues of coordination among line agencies, create a safe and creative space for national and regional dialogue, and it will bring together all the enablers we need in order to succeed.
