Nepal Electricity Authority Urges Industries to Pay Outstanding Dues

The Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has published the names of 49 industries utilizing dedicated and trunkline services, requesting them to pay outstanding dues by Kartik 8 (October 25). The authority has also warned of legal action if the dues are not cleared by the specified deadline.

Payment Deadline: The NEA has requested industries to settle their outstanding payments by Kartik 8. Legal Action Warning: The authority has stated that failure to pay on time will lead to legal enforcement measures. Government Notice: The NEA made this announcement on the same day the Ministry of Energy questioned Executive Director Kulman Ghising on the matter. The outstanding dues date back from Magh 2072 to Baisakh 2075 (January 2016 to April 2018). Previous Reminders: The NEA had previously requested industries to pay their dues, but some had refused, citing issues with the electricity bill. Public Notice: The authority published an announcement in today’s Gorkhapatra Daily, including the names and outstanding amounts of industries that have not yet settled their dues. Partial Payments: NEA has clarified that industries that have made partial payments will have the remaining dues adjusted accordingly.

This move by the NEA demonstrates its commitment to recovering dues and aims to hold high electricity-consuming industries accountable.
