Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli on Sunday announced to end load-shedding within a year. But the target cannot be achieved even after the planned 200 MW solar plant is installed. In his address to the nation on Sunday, Oli said the government will do the needful to expedite under construction power projects and transmission lines. He also said the government will provide incentive package for small and medium scale power developers. He also promised to ease the process of signing Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with independent power producers and floated the plan to build solar plants with combined capacity of 200 MW, which is about one-fourth of hydropower that the country has been generating within a year.
