About Us

The private and government sectors aim to achieve a target of 28,500 MW by 2035. Hydropower, beyond being a crucial energy source, contributes to a carbon-positive future, positioning Nepal to become a net power exporter. Over the next 3 to 4 years, Nepal aims to produce approximately 4116 MW of hydroelectricity, marking a significant stride towards sustainability.

The ‘Himalayan Hydro Expo’ plays a catalytic role in uplifting hydropower and its beneficiaries. It's not just about meeting energy demands; it's about fostering a cleaner and brighter future for everyone and the Earth. The expo actively seeks to increase and encourage innovations and technological enhancements in the hydropower sector, improve transmission, and build stronger connections between private developers and the government to reach Nepal’s energy production goals faster and more efficiently.

While Nepal currently satisfies all of its energy needs, efforts are needed for lossless transmissions and to ensure access to electricity in the remotest parts of the country. The expo also aims to sensitize policymakers and bring them together with the public to form better decisions and regulate more effectively the issues including energy subsidization, checks and balances, and more. Importantly, the expo recognizes the importance of innovations, actively encouraging the youth of the new generation to apply methods of Science, Technology, Education, and Mathematics (STEM) to practices of hydroelectric construction, making processes more efficient and faster.

A cleaner and brighter future for everyone and the earth is the ultimate goal of the Himalayan Hydro Expo. The Inter-Governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) states that hydropower has a median greenhouse gas emission intensity of 24 gCO₂-eq/kWh, significantly less than the emissions from fossil fuels, which stand at around 490 gCO₂-eq/kWh. Through the use of hydroelectric energy alone, the world has been freed from about 100 billion tons of carbon dioxide. So, even if the needs of the nation have been fulfilled, it is equally important to understand that even taking a gram of CO2 from the atmosphere is beneficial for Mother Nature in these times of climate change.

In the upcoming edition, the expo explores new dimensions of clean energy with dedicated shows like the Solar Show 2024, Green Hydrogen Show 2024, Green Energy Show 2024, Windmill Energy Show 2024, Alternative Energy Show 2024, and EV Show 2024. Additionally, seminars covering hydro-related issues, green hydrogen, green energy, solar power, windmill energy, alternative energy, and EV issues will enrich the discussions.
