Load-shedding hours increased to 46 hours a week from today

Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has increased the load-shedding hours to 46 hours a week from the existing 35 hours a week effective from Monday.

The state-monopoly on supply of electricity has hiked the load-shedding hours by 11 hours as India has cut the electricity supply by 35 MW and due to decrease of water level in the Kulekhani reservoir compared to last year.

Similarly, the increase in demand of power in the country is also the reason behind increased load-shedding during rainy season, something that is unusual, according to NEA. nepalnews.com
