Hydropower plant in Ngdi Bazar, Lamjung District

Renewable energy in Nepal is a sector that is rapidly developing in Nepal.[1] While Nepal mainly relies on burning biomass for its energy needs, solar and wind power is being seen as an important supplement to solve its energy crisis. The most common form of renewable energy in Nepal is hydroelectricity.[2]

Nepal is one of three countries with the greatest increases in electricity access from 2006 to 2016, owing to grid-connected and off-grid renewables.[3]
