In July 2014, the Government of Nepal (GoN) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed the project document of Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (RERL), which is a joint initiative of the GoN, Global Environment Facility (GEF) and UNDP. The main objective of RERL is to support Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) to remove barriers for up-scaling promotion of renewable energy projects, particularly less disseminated technologies such as larger micro hydro, mini-hydro and large scale solar photo-voltaic (PV) systems to improve livelihood and conserve the environment. RERL is an integral part of AEPC’s National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) and aims to assist it in meeting its ambitious targets of providing electricity access to 150,000. To overcome the barrier in financing of larger off-grid renewable energy systems, RERL will support Central Renewable Energy Fund (CREF) to design and implement financial instruments focusing on Public Private Partnership (PPP) modality.
