Summary
Ensuring that people benefit from hydropower plant development is a policy goal. In 2000, for instance, a policy for royalty sharing between the central, district and local governments was implemented. It has since been revised in line with the federal structure. Provinces and local governments now share 50 percent of the royalty, while the federal government retains the other half. Though well intended, attempts to share the royalties haven’t been extremely successful.
