How to promote solar PV in Nepal?
Solar PV comes into account in two major ways one, as cheap, green, and sustainable energy technology and another as diversifying the energy production in the country. The first and most reasonable approach for promoting solar in Nepal is to increase the domestic energy generation.
How many MW of electricity will Nepal produce in 10 years?
The government of Nepal has set the target of producing 15,000 MW of electricity in the next ten years. Understanding the concept of ‘energy mix’, the government has emphasized that the contribution of solar or renewable energy should be around 10-15 percent. Previously, the solar power was used only for the household purposes.
How much does solar energy cost in Nepal?
According to a report by The Himalayan Times, the solar resource in Nepal is good enough for the production of electricity at a cost of NRs 4,800 (US$40) per MWh once the solar industry becomes mature in Nepal, falling to below NRs 3,600 (US$30)/MWh in 2030. In average the global solar radiation varies from 3.6-6.2 kWh/m2 day in Nepal.
Is solar PV a solution to energy insecurity in Nepal?
Hence depending nation’s majority of electrical sources on a single source is dangerous and can cause catastrophic energy blackout. Solar PV a globally recognized and in trend in later decades is a promising technology which could secure the energy insecurity of Nepal.
