Renewable Energy

Overview of Research on Renewable Energy

Energize Nepal is currently supporting 11 new research on Renewable Energy. Out of these 11 new research projects, 6 projects are almost at the end of the planned research and is in the edge to develop new products (Turgo runner and Algal fuel pellets) and services (energy efficient building design guidelines). Two projects are in peak of their research and are expected to develop new products and services by end of next year. Whereas, 3 projects have just completed their inception phase. 

For next phase ENEP has target to involve total of 20 institutions in research activities, as of now already 33 institutions/stakeholders have been engaged in research in the sector.
