Summary

This is the Electricity Regulatory Commission's official Nepali-language directive governing the purchase and sale of electricity from reservoir-based generating stations. The PDF states that ERC's 299th meeting approved it on 2082/10/20 BS and that it commences immediately. ERC's official publication page lists the directive on 2082 Falgun 3.

Key Findings

  • The preamble states that the directive was issued under section 43 of the Electricity Regulatory Commission Act 2074 to regulate and organize electricity purchase-and-sale arrangements for reservoir-based generating stations.
  • The table of contents provides dedicated chapters for tariff determination and PPA-consent procedure; technical conditions and controllable or uncontrollable matters; financial analysis and tariff bases; tariff methodology; miscellaneous provisions; and schedules.
  • The directive defines reservoir-based generating stations for its own regulatory scope and separately defines concepts including available capacity, declared availability, monthly contract energy, peak period, dry season, dispatch, scheduling, ancillary services, delivery point, and annual fixed cost.
  • The official text provides the application, purchaser analysis, ERC-consent, tariff redetermination, review, financial-analysis, technical, and documentation framework for covered reservoir projects.

Relevance

The directive supplies the verified regulatory-status update in PPA Pricing. For documentary use, it supports only the bounded statement that ERC approved and published a dedicated reservoir purchase-and-sale framework; publication does not establish project uptake or capacity delivery.

Limitations

  • The source is in Nepali. English labels on this page are working translations for discovery and must not replace the official wording in legal or contractual use.
  • Issuance does not prove that any project has obtained tariff approval, reached financial close, started construction, or delivered dependable capacity under the directive.
  • The directive does not by itself explain the historical accumulation of Nepal's RoR/PRoR-heavy fleet.
  • Project-level applications, ERC decisions, signed PPAs, financing records, and operating results are required before implementation outcomes can be assessed.
