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

2014 Policy Dialogue on Energy for Sustainable Development for Asia and the Pacific

26-28 November, 2014 | Bangkok


Hydropower Development Policy, 2001The 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



National Water Plan, 2005by 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


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.


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.
