The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has announced it will reconnect electricity to industries whose supply was previously cut due to unpaid tariffs. NEA’s Board Chairperson and Energy Minister, Deepak Khadka, confirmed the decision following a board meeting at the Ministry of Energy, Water Resources, and Irrigation.
The move follows a Cabinet decision, mandating the immediate restoration of power to affected industries within 24 hours. The Council of Ministers had stipulated that outstanding payments must be collected within 15 days based on the Time of Day (TOD) meter system.
Minister Khadka emphasized that the NEA is responsible for issuing invoices to industries using dedicated feeder and trunk lines. He added that NEA employees would face action if bills are not issued promptly, while industrialists could face penalties if payments are not settled as invoiced.
