• Nepal has resumed exporting electricity to India after a temporary disruption caused by floods.
• The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) had to halt operations at some hydropower plants, including Trishuli and Chilime, due to flood damage.

Impact & Risks

The disruption in power exports due to floods highlights the vulnerability of hydropower plants to extreme weather events. Indian states like Haryana and Bihar, which rely on Nepal's electricity exports during the monsoon season, were temporarily affected. However, the resumption of power supply is expected to stabilise energy availability in these regions. The incident underscores the need for resilient infrastructure to mitigate risks from natural disasters.
