It is estimated that 28 percent of people in Nepal live with no access to electricity. Furthermore the low reliability of access and frequent electricity shortages create serious issues for consumption and productive use. Despite a very high potential for hydropower, the Government of Nepal has repeatedly described the situation as a “national energy crisis.”
The main energy source in Nepal is traditional biomass fuel with over 85 percent of the population using it for cooking and heating. Patterns of energy generation, and
consumption in combination with socio-economic underdevelopment presents challenges in providing modern energy solutions.
