Energy is a key driver of Nepal’s economy, and renewable energy can play a significant role in helping the country grow its economy, reduce poverty, diversify its energy mix, meet climate goals, and build societal resilience. The Nepal Renewable Energy Programme was designed to support efforts by the Government of Nepal and the private sector to plan and invest in a low-carbon development path resulting in economic growth, poverty reduction and climate-smart development. Winrock’s work for NREP will strengthen market mechanisms to attract private renewable energy investment, including climate finance, to drive market growth and socio-economic development across sectors.
