Micro hydropower to generate electricity in Nepal started with Pharping plant with an installed capacity of 500 kW in 1911 followed by Sundarijal and Panauti, in 1936 and 1965 respectively. Up to 1980, the focus was laid primarily on large-scale power generation through large hydro and thermal means, the micro-hydro potential remained untapped.
This includes 2,990 MW from hydropower, 107 MW from solar, 53 MW from thermal, and 6 MW from bagasse. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The following is a list of the power stations in Nepal .
