The electricity generation capacity managed by Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) is insufficient to meet demand, leading to frequent power outages. </b><b>Though the government has been highly effective in expanding energy access – from 28% in 2000 to 69% in 2010 and 94% in 2020 – around 1.7 million Nepalis still do not have access to modern energy, and over 73.5% of the population relies on traditional biomass for cooking (as of 2019).</b></p> <p>Addressing the energy crisis by accelerating the deployment of modern renewable energy solutions, both on- and off-grid, is a high priority for the Government of Nepal, as the country aims to achieve universal electrification by 2030.</p> <p>Many communities that remain off the grid are in remote, mountainous areas where small-scale clean energy generation is the only viable solution for electrification. However, the universal access goal cannot be reached with public and donor funding alone, and the government aims to help the energy sector access new sources of financing through a shift from ‘aid to trade’ and from ‘subsidy to credit’.</p> </div> <div class="aboutProgramme__photo"> <a data-fancybox="" href="https://www.youtube.com/embed/43yNxPkk7Ho?feature=oembed" class="play-video" data-router-disabled=""> <svg width="88" height="88" viewBox="0 0 88 88" fill="none" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"> <circle cx="44" cy="44" r="43.4211" stroke="white" stroke-width="1.15789"></circle> <path d="M54.4219 44.5781L37.9219 54.1044L37.9219 35.0518L54.4219 44.5781Z" fill="white"></path> </svg> </a> <img data-src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg" data-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg" data-webp="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg" data-webp-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg" src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg" class="lazyWebp init show" alt="photo" used-webp="true" data-src-default="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/Austria-Nepal.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> <div class="container"> <div class="box switch"> <div class="text bodytext15"> <h2>Innovative Finance</h2> <p>The Austria-Nepal Renewable Energy Blended Finance Facility, funded by the Austrian Government and implemented by REEEP in cooperation with SNV and NMB Bank Nepal, supports this shift by establishing a blended finance instrument for renewable energy projects and carrying out capacity-building activities. It is working towards:</p> <ol> <li>mainstreaming commercial lending for renewable energy projects in Nepal</li> <li>building capacity among key stakeholders at the provincial level for upscaling renewable energy programmes</li> <li>accelerating the transition of the Nepalese clean energy market away from being mostly dependent on subsidies, and help establish a market based on credit to enhance the Nepalese government’s access to and use of international technical assistance and finance.</li> </ol> <p>In addition, the project aims to generate co-benefits such as a reduction of GHG emissions and increased productive end use of energy. It will run until December 2027, with the core period of implementation in 2021- 2023.</p> </div> <div class="img"> <img data-src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg" data-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg" data-webp="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg" data-webp-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg" src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg" class="lazyWebp init show" alt="photo" used-webp="true" data-src-default="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/DJI_0064-scaled.jpg"> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="programme-lr green only-text graff-text" style="background:#eff7f1;"> <div class="container"> <div class="box"> <div class="text bodytext15"> <h2>The Location</h2> <p>The project’s activities are focused in the province of Karnali Pradesh in north-western Nepal, one of the country’s most remote and least developed regions.

Different renewable energy technologies and project sizes will be considered to increase the visibility, awareness and showcase the various uses of the credit guarantee mechanism.</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="funders"> <div class="container"> <h2>Donors and Partners</h2> <div class="funders__items"> <div class="circleItem"> <div class="circleItem__icon"> <img data-src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/BMK_Logo_srgb_EN.png" data-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/BMK_Logo_srgb_EN.png" data-webp="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/BMK_Logo_srgb_EN.png" data-webp-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/BMK_Logo_srgb_EN.png" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="photo" class="lazyWebp"> </div> <p>Funder</p> </div> <div class="circleItem"> <div class="circleItem__icon"> <img data-src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SNV-logo-square-e1697978522724.png" data-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SNV-logo-square-e1697978522724.png" data-webp="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SNV-logo-square-e1697978522724.png" data-webp-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/SNV-logo-square-e1697978522724.png" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="photo" class="lazyWebp"> </div> <p>Implementing Partner</p> </div> <div class="circleItem"> <div class="circleItem__icon"> <img data-src="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/NMB-Bank-e1703154201619.webp" data-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/NMB-Bank-e1703154201619.webp" data-webp="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/NMB-Bank-e1703154201619.webp" data-webp-retina="https://reeep.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/NMB-Bank-e1703154201619.webp" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" alt="photo" class="lazyWebp"> </div> <p>Project Partner</p> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer> <div class="container"> <div class="top"> <div class="left"> <h2>Sign up for REEEP news</h2> <form class="form-subscribe" id="sub__form" novalidate> <input type="hidden" name="page_id" value="3433"> <label class="label"> <input type="email" name="email" placeholder="Enter your email" required> </label> <button type="submit" class="form-btn">Subscribe</button> </form> <div class="privacy-policy-text"> <p>By clicking on “subscribe”, you agree that REEEP processes your data for sending you REEEP news.
