An entrepreneur in Kavre, Central Nepal, is selling
electricity to 26 households during night for lighting and to a furniture shop
during day from 5 kW of electricity generated from water mill. Government subsidies are being provided for
water mills which seem more sustainable than for solar installations in remote
areas. Along with 250 water mills in Kavre, around 10,000 water mills have been
improved across Nepal in the past 12 years and provide electricity to 200
households. With availability of subsides, a water mill for grain grinding
costs NRs. 40,000 while for electricity
generation, it costs up to NRs 300,000.
