The floods have disrupted electricity supplies, affecting both Nepal and India. Nepal's reliance on hydropower, concentrated in flood-prone river corridors, has made its energy infrastructure highly vulnerable to climate-induced disasters. The damage to hydropower plants has economic implications, including increased costs for electricity imports and reconstruction. Indigenous communities and ecosystems along the Karnali River, Nepal's last undammed river, face potential threats from proposed hydropower projects. The disaster underscores the need for sustainable energy planning to mitigate risks to human lives, infrastructure, and biodiversity.
