All 75 districts are getting electricity facility
Mugu, one of the districts of Nepal was far from electricity facility. Lack of the transportation and due to its difficult geographical structure, it was really hard to construct the line of electricity. An Agamgadh hydropower project, which was constituted in 2058 BS stopped in the middle of work. Nepal Electricity Authority took the project and accomplished it. Five VDCs are getting this facility for now. In Nepal, the first electricity was produced on 1968 BS. A hundred years after the production of electricity, all districts of Nepal have been able to get the electricity.
