Chairman’s Message

The hydropower sector in Nepal holds immense potential, driven by the country’s abundant water resources and favorable topographical features. The estimated hydropower potential of Nepal is substantial, with experts suggesting it to be around 83,000 megawatts (MW). However, currently, only a fraction of this potential has been tapped, with installed capacity standing at approximately 3000 MW. This indicates a significant opportunity for further development and expansion within the sector. Thus to cater this market, Sanima Hydro and Engineering Pvt. Ltd. Was established on 2005, thus providing the good quality consultancy services in the hydropower sector, both at national as well as international levels

As a Chairman of Sanima Hydro and Engineering Pvt Ltd (SHEPL), I am really honored to lead our team in our mission to advance sustainable development and prosperity in Nepal through the utilization of hydropower. Over the past 19 years, SHEPL has led project identification, pre-feasibility, feasibility and environmental impact studies of hydropower projects ranging from the large 1,110 MW “Sunkoshi II High Dam Project (Desk Study) for Asian Development Bank to the small 12 kW Odary Micro Hydropower Project for a local community. The company has outlined plans to undertake multiple projects in the future, aiming to maximize investor profitability and utilize resources to meet the nation’s demands.

I am confident that Nepal’s hydropower sector will benefit greatly from SHEPL’s insights and experience in the hydropower engineering services. I extend my gratitude to our staff, shareholders, stakeholders, and well-wishers whose unwavering support has propelled us to the forefront of Nepal’s hydropower sector. In the years to come, I look forward to your continued support as we grow together in the noble mission of energizing Nepal to meet its goal of sustainable socio-economic development as well as serving our clients beyond our borders.

Thanking you,
Tuk Prasad Paudel, Executive Chairman
