== Challenges for Grid Interconnection ==

*Simple connectivity – instead of a complicated equipment , a simple and compact equipment is needed.
*For the long-term sustainability of MHPs, the private sector needs to be involved. The private sector can then be responsible for the regular maintenance of the MHPs.
*Grid interconnecting is expensive and therefore, a subsidy is required until the technology is readily available in the Nepalese market
*Distribution Grid Code – Code for connectivity
*New Financing models such as [[Small Hydropower Promotion Projct (SHPP) - Off-grid to On-grid and the Power Exchange Agreement (PEA)|power Exchange Agreement (PEA) is required]]
*Moving analog to digital ELC with Droop characteristics<ref name="Jiwan Kumar Mallik Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (RERL), Nepal.
