  1. EIAS Seminar in Cooperation with the Embassy of Nepal • Brussels, 17th June 2014 Alternative Energy in Nepal Krishna Prasad Aryal (PhD) Geotechnical advisor, Sweco Norway

  2. Energy Consumption in Nepal Source: Energy Sector Synopsis Report, WECS, 2010

  3. Alternative Energy Promotion Centre • AEPC is anational agency in Nepal, established in 1996 to promote alternative energy. • A semi autonomous institution • Formulates policy and plan, mobilizes resources, provides technical supports, makes standardization and carries out quality assurance • Provides subsidy to local community/ cooperatives • Centre for excellency: micro hydro and biogas

  4. Alternative Energy Sources in Nepal • Mini /Micro/Pico Hydro electric energy • Biogas energy (biomass and bio-thermal) • Solar energy • Wind energy

  5. Solar Energy • Total installed solar power in the world 139 GW • Growing market in Asia: 2013: 21 GW (China, Tiwan, Japan, south Korea, Thailand, Australia) • Decreasing market in Europe: 2013: 11 GW, 2012: 17,7 GW and 2011: 22,4 GW • Solar power installed in Nepal is very low; roughly estimated 16 MW • (1000 kW = 1 MW & 1000 MW = 1 GW) Source: Technical weekly News Norway and AEPC

  6. Solar energy in Nepal Better solutions for meeting growing energy demand Decentralize energy system Small projects take less time to build Reliable and cost effective solution • A potential investment opportunity in Nepal Source: AEPC and ghampower.com

  7. Wind Energy Potential in Nepal • Europe is the main continent that uses this technology. Countries like Netherland Germany, Denmark are the pioneers in this technology. • More feasible in areas where wind blows fast and more frequent. • May be an alternative energy source in Nepal.

  8. Wind Energy potential in Nepal • Study shows a good perspective in Nepal with predicted possible installed capacity 3000 MW • At present only two wind turbines each of 5 kW are installed. • Other pilot projects are being considered. • Could be a good investment opportunity.

  9. Mini/ Micro/ Pico Hydro Energy Mini: 100 kW - 1000 kW (1 MW) Micro: 10 kW - 100 kW Pico: less than 10 kW Mini and micro hydro plants are valuable for the rural electrification. Good opportunity to invest /grant in mini /micro hydro.

  10. Bio-energy Bio-fuel • Potential 1100,000 tons Biogas • Potential 1.1 million plants • Present status ~0.30 million plants

  11. Key Policies & Guidelines • Rural Energy Policy, 2006 • Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy, 2013 • Renewable Energy Subsidy Delivery Mechanism, 2013 • VAT & Tax Exemption for RE systems/components (Solar, Biogas, Wind & others) • Guidelines for technology standardization, quality assurance, monitoring, etc.

  12. Investment Potential in Solar SHS (Potential 4.7 kWh/m2/day & Progress ~0.6 million hhs) Institutional Solar System/Solar water pumping (200, 000 HHs) Solar dryer & cooker (3200 HHs)

  13. Investment Potential in wind and biogas Wind (Potential 3000 MW & Progress-Pilot projects) Biogas (Potential 1.1 million plants & Progress ~0.30 million plants) Bio-fuel (Potential 1100,000 tons & Progress- piloting

  14. Energy from solid waste Management • There is no any mechanism for recycling the solid waste from municipalities. • Kathmandu produces >500 tons of solid waste every day. • The 2nd largest city Biratnagar produces > 50 tons every day. • Kathmandu is facing severe problem in solid waste management and health and environment. • Solid waste can be recycled for biogas and fertilizer production.

  15. Thank you
