Explained in plain English

Who pays for Nepal's damaged power?

The damage to the hydropower facility in Chumanubri means a loss of electricity generation, impacting local communities and potentially the national grid. Nepal's economy is heavily dependent on hydropower, with many projects funded by international investors and loans. Repair costs will likely be shared between the Nepalese government, the facility's operators, and international development partners, ultimately affecting energy prices.
