The Policy aims to develop the renewable energy sector and encourage very poor households to use renewables by providing subsidy for deployment.

It revises the subsidy determinded in the Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy – 2012 and Urban Solar System Subsidy and Credit Mobilization Guidelines . The subsidy amount is expected to cover 40% of the total costs; with around 30% coming from credit and around 30% from private sector investment and/or community or households contribution (cash or in kind).

The policy primarily focusses on off-grid applications and provides subsidies for mini/micro hydropower, improved water mill, solar energy (home systems, mini-grids, grid connected), biogas, biomass energy, wind energy and wind-solar hybrids. Detail of the subsidy for each technology type is provided in the policy document. The subsidy amount differs according to technology and the region - with higher subsidy being offered for remote areas. Selected examples are:

Solar PV mini-grid:

Generation – equip. (per kWp): NPR 175,000 to 150,000/kWp (USD 1640 to 1410).

Distribution (per household): NPR 32,000 to 28,000/household (USD 300 to 260).

Mini/micro hydropower

Generation – equip. (per kW): NPR 125,000 to 80,000/kWp (USD 1175 to 750).

Generation – civil. (per kW): NPR 80,000 to 20,000/kWp (USD 300 to 190).

Distribution (per household): NPR 35,500 to 28,000/household (USD 333 to 260).

For technologies producing electricity output, the subsidy is not only given for equipment and civil work but also, where applicable, for development of distribution infrastructure.

Subsidy will also be provided for installation of solar PV systems in grid connected areas with irregular supply. This includes subsidies for solar street lighting in urban and rural areas and for solar PV systems in households, public educational institutions, public health facilities and religious places.

A subsidy delivery mechanism will be prepared by the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) and implemented after approval from the Ministry.

The $7 Trillion AI Boom Is Turning Into The Energy Trade of the Century

You might think that Shark Tank’s “Mr. Wonderful,” Kevin O’Leary, is betting it all on AI, but he is not. He is betting on the $5+ trillion in infrastructure required to run it, and that’s where big capital is flowing now. And he’s betting on Bitzero (NASDAQ: AIBZ) to be one of the first to break AI’s biggest chokepoint: power. Bitzero was looking further ahead while most of the rest of the market was narrowly focused on AI software and semiconductors. As a result, on May 5th, Bitzero…

Oil Markets Are Pricing A Supply Surge That Isn’t Guaranteed

Crude oil prices are in freefall after the United States and Iran agreed on a ceasefire, set to last 60 days. Traders expect the ceasefire to unleash an avalanche of crude, and indeed, tankers are leaving the Persian Gulf in growing numbers. And yet Iran just struck a commercial ship in Hormuz. Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the ceasefire prompted huge discounts in available crude cargoes, noting how Angolan crude was selling at a $10 discount to dated Brent—for the first time in a decade. Not only this, but Chinese refiners were…

The World's Biggest Energy Bet Is No Longer on Fossil Fuels

For years, critics of the energy transition have made essentially the same argument. Renewable energy was supposedly too expensive, too dependent on subsidies, too intermittent, and too vulnerable to survive a serious energy security crisis. Sooner or later, they argued, governments and investors would return to the comfort of oil, gas, and coal. The latest figures from the International Energy Agency suggest the opposite is happening. According to the IEA's newly released World Energy Investment 2026 report, global investment in clean energy has…

The World Is Racing to Develop New Nuclear Fuels

In the age of the nuclear renaissance, several countries are strategising to significantly increase their nuclear energy capacity over the coming decades, as part of efforts to diversify their energy mix and boost long-term energy security. However, securing fuel to power operations has been complicated, particularly following the introduction of sanctions on Russian energy products. Now, alternative uranium fuels offer promise for the nuclear energy industry. Nuclear fission, used in all existing nuclear power plants, is the process in which an…

China Eyes a Major Opportunity in Post-War Iran

Beijing is positioning itself to lead the post-war reconstruction effort in Tehran - a move analysts suggest could secure China long-term access to critical Iranian oil reserves. The diplomatic groundwork was laid during a recent meeting in New Delhi between Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and the deputy secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, according to Nikkei Asia. The talks underscore China's broader strategy to expand its economic and diplomatic footprint in the Middle East amid the vacuum left in the wake of one failed US…
