Consequently, most Nepali citizens have historically met their energy needs with biomass, human labor, imported kerosene, and/or traditional vertical axis water mills. Energy consumption per capita is thus low, at one-third the average for Asia as a whole and less than one-fifth of the world average.The country has considerable hydroelectricity potential.[3] The commercially viable potential is estimated at about 44 GW from 66 hydropower sites.[2]In 2010, the electrification rate was only 53% (leaving 12.5 million people without <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/electricity-968393" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about ELECTRICITY">ELECTRICITY</a>) and 76% <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/depended-7675333" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DEPENDED">DEPENDED</a> on wood for <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/cooking-933459" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about COOKING">COOKING</a>. With about 1 toe for every $1,000 of GDP, Nepal has the poorest energy intensity among all south Asian countries. The country has therefore very large energy efficiency potential.[1]</p></body></html> | |
