The government of Nepal, with the assistance of the World Bank has been helping build micro hydro plants across rural Nepalese communities. The plants are built and run by the communities, enabling sustainability, and bring much-needed electricity that powers industry and businesses.
Over 1,000 micro-hydro plants have been built so far in 52 districts. With its inclusive community driven model, the initiative is meeting energy needs of rural communities, and powering their economic development, also serving as an example of how renewable, clean energy harnessed through community efforts can set the world on a path to a cleaner and more prosperous future.
