Nepal - Scaling up electricity access through mini and micro hydropower applications : a strategic stock-taking and developing a future roadmap (Vol. 2 of 2) : Summary (English)

In spite of the techno-economic potential to generate 43,000 MW of hydroelectric power, Nepal is currently facing a crippling energy crisis. In the fiscal year of 2013-14, Nepal’s domestic generation met only 60 percent1 of the energy demand of grid-connected consumers. Import from India comprised 18 percent of the total energy supplied.
