Bachelor of Hydropower Engineering is a Four year, 8 Semesters program at Mid-West University of Nepal. BE - Hydropower Engineering is taught under the Faculty of Engineering. The Bachelor of Hydropower Engineering is the first course in Nepal of its type. Mid West University is located in Birendranagar-Surkhet.
Hydropower has a large potential in the context of Nepal. We have all known and heard from decades that Nepal possess large potential of hydropower (83GW, half of which s feasible to generate ). But only about 1100 Mw of it has been extracted. Government of Nepal in recent years seems to be more focused in generating electricity from hydro sources. With more focus in investment in hydropower and encouragement/provision provided by the government to the local as well as foreign investors, we can see the hydropower industry blossom in Nepal. So, it can be said hydropower engineering has a bright scope in Nepal.
