Around 500 MW of electricity was added to the national grid in 2079 BS. With electricity generated from more than 20 power projects being connected to the national transmission system, the total installed capacity of hydropower plants operational in the country has reached 2,689 MW by mid-April 2023. The construction of the Solukhola (Dudhkoshi) Hydroelectricity Project, the largest hydropower project developed by the Nepali private sector, was completed in 2079 BS. Developed by Sahas Urja, the 86 MW project commenced its commercial production on March 1, 2023. According to the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the country's total installed capacity would reach around 3,000 MW by the end of the current fiscal year 2022/23. The NEA has projected an additional 811 MW of electricity will be added to the national grid in the current fiscal year. The state-owned power utility expects the 111 MW Rasuwagadhi, 57.3 MW Sanjen and Upper Sanjen, 102 MW Madhya Bhotekoshi, and 54 MW Super Dordi to come online by the end of the current fiscal year.

Until mid-July, 2023, the construction of additional 15 hydropower projects is expected to be completed. In 2079 BS, a total of 19 hydropower projects came into full operation while the test of nine others has reached the final stage.

Projects with an accumulative capacity of 3,280 MW are under development and once they are completed, the national grid will have around 7,000 MW of electricity. The NEA is preparing to export around 1,200 MW in the coming monsoon season. According to Independent Power Producers Association Nepal (IPPAN), some projects promoted by the private sector are in the phase of trial production. Those projects will begin commercial production of power after the 15-day trial in the presence of NEA employees. The trial production of the 19.8 MW Upper Solu River Hydropower Project promoted by Beni Hydropower is in the final stage. According to the company's managing director Ganesh Karki, the project's power has been already connected to the national grid, and commercial production is likely within the next few days. Similarly, the 14.9 MW Mayakhola Project in the Sankhuwasabha district is also set for commercial production shortly. The other projects preparing for commercial production are the 5 MW Rukumgad Project in Rukum, and the Sindhupalchowk-based Ghattekhola Project. The 54 MW Super Dordi 'B' in Lamjung and the 2 MW Solar Power Project in Nawalparasi, the 6.8 MW Solar Power Project in Morang, and the 10 MW in Banke have already been connected to the national grid. The 10 MW Makarigad Project also started commercial production in 2079 BS. Meanwhile, NEA Executive Director Kulman Ghising has directed the contractors to complete the construction of three projects, namely Rasuwagadhi (111 MW), Lower Sanjen (57.3 MW), and Madhya Bhotekoshi (102 MW), that are being developed by NEA's subsidiary companies, by the end of the current fiscal year. The domestic investors are preparing to go ahead with the construction of projects with a capacity of generating 1,553 MW, according to IPPAN's Executive Member Prakash Dulal. The government has registered a company and forwarded the process of building the Budhigandaki Hydroelectric Project. Now, the government plans to hand over the 1,200 MW project to the NEA. On the transmission line part, the process of constructing the New Butwal-Gorakhpur 400 kV transmission line has moved ahead.
