As of 4 March 2025, Nepal's total installed electricity capacity is 3421.956 megawatts (MW). This includes 3255.806 MW from hydropower, 106.74 MW from solar, 53.41 MW from thermal, and 6 MW from Co-generation. The following is a list of the power stations in Nepal.
The potential area for wind power generation in Nepal is approximately 6074 sq.km. Wind is available for 18 hours a day in the country, and it has a wind generation capacity of 3,000 megawatts. This capacity is particularly high in the river corridors and mountain valleys that dot the country.
Nepal launched its largest wind-solar power system in December 2017 to serve rural households in the Hariharpurgadi village, Sindhuli district, under the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Power System Expansion Project. The system has the capacity to produce 110 kilowatt-hours of energy per day.
