Renewable energy in Nepal

Renewable energy in Nepal is a sector that is developing in Nepal.[1] This is one of the factor that can alter the change in load shedding time too which is helpful.

Solar energy

Power cuts with an average of 10 hours per day[2] have been common in Nepal and Nepal Electricity Authority[3] publishes a time table for power cuts. Solar energy can be seen as a more reliable source of energy in Nepal than the traditional electricity. Private installations of solar panels are more frequent in Nepal. The US Embassy has installed the solar panels.[4][5]

Places such as Madi, Chitwan where the Electricity Authority do not provide electricity[6] because of Chitwan National Park, people there have been relying on solar power[7] for several years.

Electric vehicles

Electric powered[8] public three wheeler have been in use to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. [9]
