While the rugged mountains of rural Nepal don’t lend themselves to grid-fed electricity, their rivers, lakes, and glacial melt offer plenty of renewable resources for energy. Between 2007 and 2014, over 400 micro run-of-the-river hydropower plants were built by the Nepali government with help from the World Bank as part of the Nepal Micro-hydro Promotion project.

The smallest micro-hydro plant, at 7 kilowatts, provides electricity to about 100 households and the biggest one, at around 116 kilowatts, serves 940 households (about 4,023 people). Lights are now coming on in homes, businesses and streets in remote Nepali villages thanks to energy from these hydros. And for the first time in Nepal and South Asia, a micro-hydro project has issued carbon credits by displacing diesel fuel with renewable energy. These credits are sold and the revenue helps pay for operations and maintenance of the hydros.
