The Independent Power Producers’ Association, Nepal (IPPAN) has put forth its 12-point riders on the Electricity Bill-2080 tabled in the Parliament public. Organising a press conference on Sunday, it made the opinion public stating that although the system for developing power projects through competition is good, the provision for government and the private sector should not be arranged separately. President of IPPAN Ganesh Karki said that apart from issuing electricity distribution and customer service licenses and opening the doors for electricity trade for the private sector, other points had reduced the role of the private sector in energy development. Karki said that the electricity bill that prohibits the private sector, which accounts for 70 per cent of electricity production, will not fulfill the government's plan to bring prosperity through energy. The government of Nepal prepared and registered the Electricity Bill, 2080 to amend and unify existing laws related to electricity in the Parliament Thursday.
