Background
Nepal has demonstrated many good practices with use of different RETs for rural energy access;
Use of wind energy for rural energy access has been minimal;
Limited knowhow on technological options and resource availability Small micro wind turbines (<500 W) are being used to some extend

Development of wind energy has been stalled due to years of underinvestment , lack of strong commitments and lack of favorable policy.

Wind and Solar energy potential in Nepal

By considering commercially viable Wind Power Density (WPD) 300 w/m2, there is 6074 sq. km area with power density greater than 300 WPD.

If consider 10% of total feasible area about 3000 MW of total electricity can be generated by wind energy@ 5 MW per sq. km.

Achievements Till Date


I. Data Acquisition ( 11 wind mast stations are installed and retrieved wind data) II. 6 small wind and solar hybrid system for lighting III. Two 400 watt stand alone wind systems and one wind mill for water pumping. IV. Solar and wind resource assessment project (SWERA) V. Detail feasibility study for wind firm in Pyuthan conducted VI. 10 kW of Wind solar hybrid system pilot project in Nawalparasi district of Nepal supported by Asian Development Bank. VII. 10 Potential Project sites has been identified for the implementation of SWM Project VIII. 20 more sites (communities) are under study phase IX. Above 100 demands has been received for ISPV most of which are feasible and more suitable for SWM implementation

ADBs Regional TA : RETA 7485


RETA 7485-Deployment of Small Wind Power Systems
An Integral Part of ADBs Energy for All Initiative Aims at maximizing utilization of indigenous renewable energy in remote poor villages not yet served by the national grid Learning and sharing international experiences

Nepal-the first pilot country for the RETA


Abundant renewable energy resources Chronic power shortage, especially in rural areas Strong government commitment to develop renewable energy for poverty reduction and environmental protection

The Pilot Project Site: Hurhuredanda Wind Solar Hybrid Project


Western Nepal, Nawalparasi District, Dhaubadi VDC Ward No 1,
170 KM far from Kathmandu Isolated village but still accessible by a seasonal road Elevation : 1,300 m

Majority of the population is young.


45% of the population is aged between 15 to 45. 46 households, total population 333. (Source: Practical Action, 2010)

Affordability and Willingness to Pay
The villagers have agreed to pay A tariff rate of $0.21 per kWh or NRs 300 ($3.46) per month whichever is more
Almost equivalent to the daily unskilled wage Almost the same for telecommunication expenses 100% tariff collection as of now

A Revolving fund with community contribution has been established to promote productive use of energy and supplementary economic activities
