Who owns Nepal's power?

Nepal has significant hydropower potential due to its mountainous terrain and numerous rivers. The Trishuli 3A project, for example, is a joint venture, often involving both government and private companies, sometimes with international investment. This aims to meet Nepal's growing energy needs and potentially export electricity to neighbouring countries.
