Energy Policy Structures Hydropower Development Policy, 1998 & 2001 Electricity Act, 1992 Water Resources Strategy 2002 National Water Plan 2005 Ten Years Hydropower Development Plan 2009 Rural Energy Policy 2006 Subsidy Policy for Renewable (Rural) Energy 2009 Nepal s 20 Years Renewable Energy Perspective Plan (Draft)
Energy Policy Structures Hydropower Development Policy, 2001 The objectives of HDP, 2001 are to develop hydropower potential of Nepal in a sustainable manner to meet the domestic demand. Hydro-Electricity as an exportable commodity. to attract the foreign investment in the sector. To generate electricity at low cost reliable and quality electricity at reasonable price to combine electrification with the economic activities. provision for rural electrification Provisions for environment protection
Energy Policy Structures National Water Plan, 2005 by 2017 by 2027 Domestic demand to be met 2035 MW 4000 MW Electrification Grid connected 35% 75% Isolated (Micro & Small hydro) 12% 20% Alternative Energy 3% 5% Per capita consumption 160 kwh 400 kwh Export Extensive
Energy Policy Structures Rural Energy Policy, 2006 To reduce dependency on traditional energy and conserve environment. To increase employment and productivity. To increase the living standards of the rural population. Subsidy Policy for Renewable (Rural) Energy, 2009 To maximize the service delivery and service delivery efficiency in the use of renewable energy resources and technologies. To support rural electrification as well as gradually reduce the growing gap of electricity supply, consumption, etc between rural and urban areas. To support development and extension of RET market by attracting private entrepreneurs.
Energy Policy Structures Three Year Plan By year 2016 to add 2500 MW Per capita consumption 100 kwh Electrification Grid connected 55% Off Grid 7% Renewable Energy Mini & Micro Hydro 15 MW Solar 3 MW Wind 1 MW Visions of governments Within 10 Years 10000 MW
Institutions and their Activities National Planning Commission Water and Energy Commission Ministry of Energy Department of Electricity Development (DoED) Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) Ministry of Environment, Science and Technology Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC)
Challenge and Constraints Challenges To ensure supply to meet the ever increasing demand for electricity. A seasonal imbalance between the demand and supply of hydroelectricity as majority of the existing hydropower projects are run-of-river type. To control the leakage of electricity. To rationalize the electricity tariff on time. To make coordinated efforts for the development of hydropower and alternative energy sources in order to provide electricity in the rural areas.
Challenge and Constraints Challenges The grants available is limited for the installation of RETs. Developing the possibilities of connection small and micro hydropower plants to the national grid. Constraints Lack of adequate public and private sector investments in energy sector. Lack of supportive policies and environment thereof.
Thank you.
