As per our research we are here with some of the affordable clean energy source. Only some of the affordable clean energy sources are used in our country among the given. Resident roof PV System, Government Roof PV System, Wind onshore, Hydroelectric etc. Affordable clean energy source are used in our country.
Hydroelectricity: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) owns Hydroelectric Plants connected to the grid amounting to 480 Megawatts. It also buys power from Independent Power Producers (IPP) amounting to 230 Megawatts. It operates two fuel operated plants generating 53 Megawatts of Electricity. The total capacity of the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) which NEA operates stands at 757 Megawatts. With the demand for electricity ever increasing, NEA has not been able to cope with demand. As a result of which Nepal faces load shedding for up to 16 hours a day during the dry season. Various projects are underway to help meet the electricity demand but these have been delayed because of many reasons.
Solar: Nepal has great potential for at least four types of solar energy technology: grid-connected PV, solar water heaters, solar lanterns and solar home systems. Nepal receives 3.6 to 6.2 kWh of solar radiation per square meter per day, with roughly 300 days of sun a year, making it ideal for solar energy.
The country also has a large market for solar water heaters, with 185,000 units installed and operating as of 2009. 943 medium-size solar PV units provide 1.2 MWp of electricity for the communications sector. Solar lanterns, popularly known as solar tuki, with 155,000 units in use as of 2010 constituting 757 KWp of capacity. 225,000 of solar home systems are used throughout Nepal across 2600 villages with an output of 5.36 MWp.
Wind: The first wind turbine generator of 20 KWp capacity (10 kW each) installed in Kagbeni of Mustang District in 1989 (Within the three months of operation, blade and tower of the wind generator were broken). Other, wind turbines were installed in Chisapani of Shivapuri National Park and the Club Himalaya in Nagarkot, both of which are not functional anymore .Within the Asian Development Bank Renewable Village Program, two 5KW wind turbines in Dhaubadi village of Nawalparasi District were installed.
Authorities to develop alternative energy in Nepal
Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) was founded in 1996 to promote the development and deployment of renewable energies and alternative energy technologies in Nepal. It is a semi-autonomous institution formally attached to the Ministry of Environment.
Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) The state-owned utility NEA was founded in 1985. Its task is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and the development and operation of the electricity grid.
Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) was founded in 1975 with the aim of advancing the development of energy and water resources in Nepal in an integral way. Six years later, a permanent secretariat (WECS) was established, which is responsible for the formulation of the water and energy strategy and policy of the country as well as for the implementation of planning processes in the water and energy sectors.

Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) The state-owned utility NEA was founded in 1985. Its task is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity and the development and operation of the electricity grid.
Water and Energy Commission Secretariat (WECS) was founded in 1975 with the aim of advancing the development of energy and water resources in Nepal in an integral way. Six years later, a permanent secretariat (WECS) was established, which is responsible for the formulation of the water and energy strategy and policy of the country as well as for the implementation of planning processes in the water and energy sectors.
Independent Power Producers (IPP) are private sectors or companies whom generate hydropower in Nepal.
As per our research we are here with some of the affordable clean energy source. Only some of the affordable clean energy sources are used in our country among the given. Resident roof PV System, Government Roof PV System, Wind onshore, Hydroelectric etc. Affordable clean energy source are used in our country.
Hydroelectricity: Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) owns Hydroelectric Plants connected to the grid amounting to 480 Megawatts. It also buys power from Independent Power Producers (IPP) amounting to 230 Megawatts. It operates two fuel operated plants generating 53 Megawatts of Electricity. The total capacity of the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) which NEA operates stands at 757 Megawatts. With the demand for electricity ever increasing, NEA has not been able to cope with demand. As a result of which Nepal faces load shedding for up to 16 hours a day during the dry season. Various projects are underway to help meet the electricity demand but these have been delayed because of many reasons.
Solar: Nepal has great potential for at least four types of solar energy technology: grid-connected PV, solar water heaters, solar lanterns and solar home systems. Nepal receives 3.6 to 6.2 kWh of solar radiation per square meter per day, with roughly 300 days of sun a year, making it ideal for solar energy.
The country also has a large market for solar water heaters, with 185,000 units installed and operating as of 2009. 943 medium-size solar PV units provide 1.2 MWp of electricity for the communications sector. Solar lanterns, popularly known as solar tuki, with 155,000 units in use as of 2010 constituting 757 KWp of capacity. 225,000 of solar home systems are used throughout Nepal across 2600 villages with an output of 5.36 MWp.
Wind: The first wind turbine generator of 20 KWp capacity (10 kW each) installed in Kagbeni of Mustang District in 1989 (Within the three months of operation, blade and tower of the wind generator were broken). Other, wind turbines were installed in Chisapani of Shivapuri National Park and the Club Himalaya in Nagarkot, both of which are not functional anymore .Within the Asian Development Bank Renewable Village Program, two 5KW wind turbines in Dhaubadi village of Nawalparasi District were installed.
