Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (NREP)
The DFID Nepal Renewable Energy Programme (NREP) seeks to support the Government of Nepal to lead and manage a new National Small Scale Renewable Energy Framework (NSREF) for the off-grid energy sector. It will directly deliver a series of programme activities in line with four objectives: 1. Build the capacity of Government of Nepal to lead and manage the NSREF. The Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) will be the main entry point but other relevant institutions may also be considered (such as AEPC regional offices, the Ministry of Energy and the Nepal Energy Authority). 2. Strengthen the capacity of the Central Renewable Energy Fund (CREF) to enable it to manage and spend climate finance. Within this objective up to £500k is set aside for direct transfer to CREF to pilot spending mechanisms. 3. Directly deliver programme activities related to: (i) demand for renewable energy; (ii) supply of renewable energy technologies; and (iii) finance for renewable energy. 4. Generate and share knowledge and research in relation to Nepal’s renewable energy sector. Develop networks of partners working in the sector and facilitate knowledge sharing and learning.
