Nepal
Nepal is a country in South Asia between India and China. Mount Everest, the highest mountain in the world, and the central Himalaya Mountains are in Nepal. [17] 12 of the world''s highest
For decades, Nepal has focused almost exclusively on hydropower development to meet its energy needs. Until recently, this strategy was logical. However, given the rapid advancements in solar energy technology, Nepal's continued disregard for commercial solar power is a glaring misstep.
Solar energy integration Integrating solar energy into Nepal's energy mix offers several strategic benefits, such as diversification and reliability, improving energy security and grid stability. This will in turn reduce Nepal's over-reliance on hydropower, which is vulnerable to seasonal variations and climate change impacts.
In Nepal, the silver lining is the growing collective urge to adopt renewable energy sources, including solar energy. However, the structural inefficiency to usher in a transformative transition towards increased contribution of solar in total energy output remains a bottleneck. Regional developments and opportunities
Developing domestic solar capacity can help Nepal achieve energy independence and enhance national energy security. Further, the cost of solar power has plummeted globally, making it a highly affordable energy solution. Nepal must capitalise on this trend before it falls further behind.
