Nepal has been suffering from a serious energy crisis for decades. It has severely affected its economic, social and political developments. Owing to the continuously evolving energy situation in Nepal, and the recent progress in renewable energy technologies, this study aims to provide an up to date perspective on the current energy crisis in Nepal.
Energy is one of the basic requirements to sustain our civilization, so its supply should be secure and abundant [1].Electrical energy plays a vital role in the development of industrialized nations in the 21st century [2].The associated climate change significantly affects the economic systems, ecological structures and social development of many countries [3].

According to the IEA (2020), renewables (including biofuels, waste, hydro, wind and solar energy resources) in China accounted for about 19.5% of the total energy supply in 2000, while 80.5% was made of coal, natural gas, oil and nuclear 2019, the total energy supply increased by about 200% compared to 2000, with renewables accounting for about 9.8%.
database is a basis for policy formulation and sustainable energy planning. In this context, this Energy Sector Synopsis Report provides status of energy sector in Nepal. The overall energy consumption of Nepal is largely dominated by the use of biomass a non-commercial energy form in case of Nepal.
Our findings show that renewable resources are essential not just for alleviating the current energy crisis, but also for assuring Nepal''s long-term energy independence by generating reliable and sustainable energy supply. Suman [2021], Renewable and Sustainable energy review, 2 (Suman, 2021) Climate change adaptation and mitigation: Based on
However, over-reliance on subsidies and lack of collaboration between donors, government, local enterprises, and communities (Alex et al., 2014; Bhattarai et al., 2018; Dhital et al., 2016) have hindered sustainable progress. Nepal''s energy assessments and planning still heavily depend on international support (Table A1 and A2), indicating a
Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 7 aims to "ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable, and modern energy for all by 2030" (UNSDG, 2015). But, with the current progress rate, it isn''t easy to achieve this goal (WB, 2022). Making clean energy accessible to populations from developing countries is essential for achieving SDG 7.
At the same time, energy demand continues to grow rapidly, especially in developing countries, as they seek to lift billions out of poverty and drive economic growth [8].Global primary energy demand has nearly tripled since 1965, from 155 exajoules (EJ) to over 600 EJ in 2022 [9], [10] veloping nations, led by Asia, account for over 75 % of this growth.
renewable energy sources, like traditional stoves and fuel woods, which are detrimental to the environment. Besides, fossil fuels in the country are imported, creating an economic burden on the country. Nepal has the potential to utilize solar energy as a sustainable energy source. However, this potential

of 86 peer-reviewed journal articles on Nepal''s energy policy, and consultations with 11 experts. Our evaluation shows that while there is a progressive trend, Nepal''s energy policies face challenges of political instability, governance issues, siloed devel-opment practices, lagging research and development, inefficient energy demand man-

SUSTAINABLE AND SECURE ENERGY SYSTEM FOR ALL BY 2050 Examiners: Professor Christian Breyer The People''s Republic of China borders the countries to the north and India on the east, south and west (Asian Development Bank, 2017). Primary energy supply mix in Nepal and Bhutan in 2014 and 2015 respectively (Asian Development Bank, Bhutan. :::
Unfortunately, the impacts of these policies are mostly limited to paper and the ground reality is far from what is targeted. For example, the total number of vehicles registered in Nepal until 2019 is 3.8 million out of which only ∼50,000 (<1.4%) are electric vehicles, which are expensive compared to the petroleum counterparts and cannot be afforded by the general public.
the United Nations (UN) led Sustainable Energy for All (SE4ALL) initiative seeks to ensure universal access to modern en-ergy services and the Sustainable Devel-opment Goal 7 (SDG7) aims to ensure ac-cess to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for everyone by 2030. The Government of Nepal (GoN) has adopted
Powering the planet Earth is one of the most challenging concerns in the 21 st century, and the energy demand has emerged into diverse aspects of our lives including health, welfare, economy, and society. Therefore, securing the energy supply is of global importance. Yet, a considerable percentage of people are living in the rural areas without access to
sustainable, secure and least-cost energy system can form a key part of the recovery and pave the way to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. As a land-locked country with few fossil fuel reserves, a reliable energy supply is of utmost importance for Nepal to enhance its energy security and reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels.
The supply of electricity in Nepal is still not satisfactory, especially in rural areas. Connecting to the public grid is often challenging because of the hilly terrain. Off-grid systems powered by
The contingency tables confirm the association between the Country context and sustainable energy development, showing that countries that are assigned a better grade for political and economic aspects adopt more appropriate energy measures. The research reveals the need for leaders'' active engagement in the implementation of international
So, reducing energy consumption can inevitably help to reduce emissions. However, some energy consumption is essential to human wellbeing and rising living standards. Energy intensity can therefore be a useful metric to monitor. Energy intensity measures the amount of energy consumed per unit of gross domestic product.
To support the European Union''s (EU) goal of carbon neutrality by 2050, Potrč et al. [5] contributed to the field of sustainable renewable energy supply chain design by developing a multi-period mixed-integer optimization model. Their model aimed to maximize the net present value of sustainability, considering a wide range of biomass and waste
There is a lack of awareness and publicity about the positive role energy efficiency can play for supply of sustainable, adequate and reliable energy supply in Nepal. Policy, legal and institutional frameworks have not yet been established to recognize energy efficiency as an additional source
Nepal''s economy has witnessed a growth of 25.52% from the previous 4.2% GDP growth in the fiscal year 2020–2021 to 5.8% in 2021–2022. The economy of Nepal has flaunted a substantial growth of 4.25% in 2021 from a minus growth of −2.37% in 2020 (Pandey, 2022).The energy demand is drastically increasing in Nepal and is heavily dependent on
with limited access. The situation is severe in remote areas of Nepal. Varieties of renewable energy sources are available for energy access; limited to lighting and cooking. In line with sustainable development goal no. 7, "Ensure access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all", Nepal has set its own targets
