Kathmandu. All citizens will have access to modern and renewable energy. President Ram Chandra Poudel said this while presenting the policies and programmes for the fiscal year 2082/83 BS in the joint sitting of the federal parliament today.
He said legal, institutional and procedural reforms would be carried out to implement the Energy Development Roadmap 2081 BS. In addition, solar, wind and hydrogen energy will be developed as alternative sources of renewable energy. Appropriate financial model will be adopted for the development of multi-purpose and reservoir hydropower projects to meet the demand for power supply and maintain energy security even during the dry season. In collaboration with the three tiers of governments, electricity supply will be expanded through up-grade solar and wind power micro and small hydropower and minigrids in areas where there is no national grid.
National and international high capacity transmission lines will be expanded with the participation of the private sector.
