Nepal: Per capita: what is the average energy consumption per person? When we compare the total energy consumption of countries the differences often reflect differences in population size.
The problem has been somewhat solved for the current energy demand scenario, however, to conform with the global energy demands, meet its own energy needs, develop a prosperous
The total power purchased from Independent Power Producers (IPPs) within Nepal was 3,241 GWh, an increase of 8.36 % from the figure of 2,991 GWh in FY 2019/20. A total of 11 new projects developed by the Independent Power Producers (IPPs) with a combined installed capacity of 119 MW were commissioned in the FY 2020/21.
Most of the energy resources in Nepal are not traded. However, fossil fuels are imported from outside the country. Prices of electricity and petroleum are controlled by the Government whereas free-market energy products namely coal, charcoal, and other petroleum products such as candles, raw petroleum, etc. are set in the market.
NEA operates about 1.35 MW plants while IPPs operate about 21 MW of solar plants. As of 2018, the installed micro-hydropower plants have contributed up to 38 MW of power in total. More than 1,800 MHPs provide electricity to 344 thousand households in the remote areas of Nepal.
In the case of wind energy, the potential supply in Nepal is estimated to be 3000MW. But 113.6 kW has been harnessed to date and 5MW capacity is under construction in different parts of Nepal. The solar wind hybrid mini-grid system installed in Nepal reached 1500kW as of 2022. Organic municipal waste is another source of modern renewables.
The number of households with the potential for installation of a household biogas system is about 1.9 million, which represents about 42% of the total households in Nepal. The installation is dominated by Terai and Hilly belts due to the availability of a sufficient amount of feedstock and a favourable temperature.
AEPC has been the central government body for dissemination of the solar technologies all over Nepal. To date, there have been about 961 thousand residential Solar PV systems installed. The largest number of SHS have been installed in remote districts of western Nepal, and the access to grid electricity is poor.
