Increasing load shedding has forced people to use alternative energy
sources to meet regular household energy requirements in Nepal. A five year
National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) with an approximate
budget of NPR 14,000 million was launched in 2012 to fulfill the need of
millions of people. Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) has also
generated interest among private speculators to present novel business ideas
which focus on the use of electricity produced from micro-hydro projects.
Likewise, eleven thousand households in Gorkha district, western Nepal have
benefited from micro-hydro projects.
