Invest and Infra Pvt. Ltd. has successfully completed the consulting assignment of “Impact assessment of Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (1st September 2024 – 31st January 2025)”.
⚡ Powering Nepal’s Future with Sustainable Energy 🌱
Nepal’s energy transition is gaining momentum, thanks to the Nepal Renewable Energy Program (NREP) and its Sustainable Energy Challenge Fund (SECF). By shifting from subsidies to Viability Gap Funding (VGF), this initiative has mobilized significant private investment, reduced reliance on fossil fuels, and expanded access to clean energy.
Key Wins
✅ Private Sector-Led Growth – SECF leveraged up to 16.56x private investment, proving that the right financial mechanisms can unlock capital for Distributed Sustainable Energy (DSE).
✅ Clean Energy Adoption – Businesses and households are switching to clean cooking, solar, and alternative fuels, improving energy security and reducing emissions.
✅ Economic Impact – DSE projects are creating jobs, especially for women and marginalized groups, driving inclusive growth.
Challenges & The Way Forward
⚠️ Policy Coherence – Aligning federal, provincial, and local regulations is crucial for scaling DSE.
⚠️ Financing Barriers – Strengthening financial institutions (BFIs) to support energy investments can accelerate adoption.
⚠️ Innovation & Scalability – Expanding models like RESCO, net metering for solar, and blended finance will drive long-term sustainability.
Nepal’s energy future is bright—but success hinges on strong public-private collaboration, policy innovation, and smart financing. Now is the time to scale solutions that empower communities, attract investment, and build a cleaner, more resilient energy system. 🌍⚡
