Last week’s devastating floods in Nepal crippled over a tenth of the country’s power generation, leaving millions without electricity and disrupting essential services. The disaster damaged key hydroelectric plants and damaged transmission lines, forcing the government to scramble for emergency repairs and alternative supply sources. As the nation struggles to restore its grid, the incident highlights the growing vulnerability of Nepal’s infrastructure to extreme weather and the urgent need for resilient energy planning.
