Engineers 500-600 Supervisors and Foremen (site leadership) 1,500-2,000 Skilled workers with various skills and expertise 5,000-6,000 General workers 20,000-25,000

Furthermore, electricity generation is expected to make a significant contribution to the national economy. As discussed above, the electricity generation projects by 2035 will generate the following revenue from electricity supply, collected revenue, and amounts received by producers from electricity sales:

Description	Estimated Amount (NPR)
Revenue collected from electricity generation projects (received by Nepal Government)	Approx. 88 billion
Amount received by producers from electricity sales	Approx. 39 trillion
Amount received by Nepal Electricity Authority from power purchase and sale	Approx. 26 trillion

11. Analysis and Management of Potential Risks

11.1. Potential Risks

The risks associated with the implementation of this action plan are as follows:

Climate Change: Due to climate change, there is a possibility of annual energy production falling below expectations.
Natural Disasters: Natural disasters can damage physical infrastructure of projects under construction and in operation, potentially leading to delays and reduced electricity supply.
Supply Chain Disruption: Disruption in the import/supply of construction materials like explosives and iron can affect construction work, leading to delays and increased costs.
Policy Instability in Cross-Border Electricity Trade: Policy instability can delay the implementation of long-term electricity trade agreements, adversely affecting electricity trade.
Economic Recession: An economic recession can hinder financial resource mobilization for energy generation projects from the private sector and financial institutions.
Financial Condition of Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA): If NEA's commercial operations do not generate expected profits, it may face challenges in mobilizing investment for electricity supply infrastructure.
Obstacles in Reservoir Project Development: Environmental impacts and displacement of settlements in reservoir areas can hinder the development of reservoir projects as expected.
Investment Environment: If a favorable investment environment is not established in the country, and in case of an economic recession, foreign investors and non-resident Nepalis may not invest as expected.

11.2. Risk Management

To effectively manage the risks associated with the implementation of this action plan, the following risk management measures are deemed appropriate:

Climate Change: Adopting national/international guidelines and good practices that incorporate climate change dimensions for the study, construction, and operation of hydropower projects.
Natural Disasters: Implementing disaster prevention measures, recovery plans, and awareness systems, including disaster management/mitigation measures, during project study, construction, and operation phases.
Supply Chain Disruption: Expanding alternative sources for construction material supply/import and developing/promoing domestic sources.
Policy Instability in Cross-Border
