Embracing the opportunities pumped storage offers to the global storage challenge opens the door to further opportunities for conventional hydropower. Secondly, we need to do more to highlight that, far from being an existential threat, increased drought (and indeed flooding) can be managed through well designed hydropower.
In order to meet these ambitious targets, Nepal is planning to increase its focus on hydropower projects along with the implementation of smart grid technologies, both of which can modernize the power sector and reduce the carbon footprint of fossil fuels by enhancing the penetration of renewable energy sources and minimizing losses .
In the case of Nepal, except for the Kulekhani (I, II and III) HPPs, I the seasonal storage and II & III the cascades of I, most hydropower projects are susceptible to fluctuations in inflows , which is also evident through the comparison of production in the last decade (Table 3).
In conclusion, with the increasing energy demand and with Nepal exploring the potential of power exports to neighboring countries, the prospects of the hydropower sector also increase simultaneously. Thus, to meet such demands, many HPP projects will be necessary in the future.
