The Ministry of Energy, Water Resources and Irrigation has an Energy Development Roadmap and Action Plan with the target of producing 28,500MW by 2035 by when more than half of it will be exported. Nepal is also diversifying away from its sole reliance on hydroelectricity, which at present supplies 92% of the power in the grid.
About 29 geothermal springs has been identified in Nepal mostly located in the banks of Mahakali, Karnali, Tila, Kaligandaki, Myagdi, Marshyangdi, Trishuli, Singhya, Budi khola near sila home and Bhotekoshi rivers. [1] Twenty three of them are officially recognized by the Nepal government. [2] The source of heat is the Main Central Thrust. [3]

Renewable energy in Nepal comes from hydropower, solar energy, biomass, biogas, and wind energy. Nepal has favorable solar resources, receiving average solar radiation of 3.6 to 6.2 kW/m /day. Sunshine duration is around three hundred days per year or 6.8 hours per day, equivalent to approximately 2100 hours annually. This indicates good potential for solar power generation acr
Nepal''s wind energy potential is concentrated in the high mountains and mid-hills regions, with favorable sites over 3,300 meters above sea level. Despite low population density and arduous geographical conditions, Khumbu Region, Kagbeni, Chusang, Thakmarpha, and Khanjiroba are some of the high-potential mountain areas for wind energy.
Renewable energy in Nepal can help expand energy access to remote areas and improve living standards for impoverished Nepalese people. Immense Potential for Renewables. The dramatic Himalayan mountains, glaciers and rivers that dominate the Nepalese landscape provide the country with a powerful energy source, in the form of falling water.
Energy is the backbone of any economy of the country. Information on available energy resources and its consumption provide the sound basis for appropriate policy formulation and planning of the energy sector towards sustainable development. For this reliable and timely data availability is the key for better action.
Amazingly, people from quite distant places visit the Singha Hot Spring in Western Nepal in the belief that hot spring water is a panacea for many diseases. preliminary analysis of geochemical data, including isotopic studies, indicates that there is a
The mission of AEPC is to make renewable energy and energy efficiency mainstream resource through the energy accessibility, knowledge and adaptability contributing towards improved living conditions of people of Nepal and combatting climate change globally.
In November 2010, Nepal intended to invest in renewable energy services, particularly solar and wind, as a means to grow the citizens'' often badly-needed energy access and leapfrog into climate-friendly development, with support from

This Nepal Energy Outlook 2022 is developed with joint effort from Kathmandu University, Institute of Engineering, Nepal Energy Foundation, and Niti Foundation. The document summarizes the current national energy scenario, policy provisions extended by Government of Nepal, issues & gaps, and the potential recommendations to mitigate the gap.
Nepal's wind energy potential is concentrated in the high mountains and mid-hills regions, with favorable sites over 3,300 meters above sea level. Despite low population density and arduous geographical conditions, Khumbu Region, Kagbeni, Chusang, Thakmarpha, and Khanjiroba are some of the high-potential mountain areas for wind energy.
Nepal has substantial wind energy potential, with estimates of over 3000 MW total capacity. Around 448 MW is commercially viable for electricity generation. Nepal's wind energy potential is concentrated in the high mountains and mid-hills regions, with favorable sites over 3,300 meters above sea level.
With about 1 toe for every $1,000 of GDP, Nepal has the poorest energy intensity among all south Asian countries. The country has therefore very large energy efficiency potential. Petroleum is the second largest energy fuel in Nepal after firewood and accounts for 11% of primary energy consumption in the country.
Biomass is by far the most important primary energy source in Nepal. Biomass comprises wood, agricultural residues and dung. One major problem with this is that burning these biomass substances for cooking is a common practice (87.3%) and thus exposes those living in the house to harmful air pollutants.
