What actually moves these companies
These are power producers: a company builds a run-of-river plant, signs a power purchase agreement with Nepal Electricity Authority, and sells what it generates.
Two things move them and neither is a balance sheet. The monsoon decides how much water runs through the turbines, so earnings swing hard between wet and dry season. Construction milestones do the rest. A plant that reaches commercial operation date is a different company from one still building.
Worth knowing: A hydropower company under construction earns nothing and is priced on a promise. Check whether the plant is generating before you compare its price to a producer that already is.
All 111 are listed: Asian Hydropower Limited (AHL), Arun Valley Hydropower Development Company Limited (AHPC), Ankhu Khola Jalvidhyut Company Limited (AKJCL), Arun Kabeli Power Ltd. (AKPL), Appolo Hydropower Limited (APHL), API POWER COMPANY LIMITED (API), Barun Hydropower Co. Ltd. (BARUN), Bhugol Energy Development Company Ltd (BEDC), and 103 more listed below. That is 39.6% of the 280 companies listed on NEPSE.
