PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Context
Despite Nepal's enormous hydropower potential, the country suffers from an energy deficit. Almost four million people do not have access to modern and clean energy services. The country's social and economic development suffers from the energy deficit and inefficient energy use. The inadequate supply of electricity and modern energy services leads to production disruptions and hampers the socio-economic development, especially of single-parent households and disadvantaged population groups. The high energy intensity combined with the energy shortage has made the country heavily dependent on imports of coal-fired power and fossil fuels from India, increasing trade deficit and greenhouse gas emissions. To address this problem, the government emphasizes the importance of diversified renewable energy and energy efficiency for meeting basic needs and for sustainable economic development. The lack of regulatory, institutional and private sector structures and the lack of financial/personnel implementation capacities represent key challenges for the long-term and independent promotion of renewable energies and energy efficiency. In 2015, responsibility for planning and implementing energy supply services was transferred to sub-national government units. However, these lack the necessary financial resources and personnel capacities.
Objective
Regulatory, institutional and private sector conditions for the spread of renewable energies and energy efficiency have been created.
