Nepal Private Sector-Led Mini Grid Energy Access Project (MGEAP)
AEPC is implementing “The Nepal: Private Sector-Led Mini-Grid Energy Access Project (MGEAP)” supported by Government of Nepal and the World Bank.
The findings show that sustainable operation of mini-grid requires the local capacity building, coordination, and understanding among community cooperatives. Most of the people in Nepal live in rural areas, where access to energy resources reaches 84.9% (97.7% urban and 81.7% rural) [ 1 ].
A majority of Nepalese population are living in rural areas, where the electricity access by grid extension is not feasible. Development of micro-hydropower in the isolated state is one of the solutions to provide the electricity to these areas.
Mini grid: A step ahead in MH sector, experience from Baglung Mini Grid pilotproject.

Micro hydro interconnected mini grids in nepal: potential and pitfalls.
The availability of rivers and water resources and the country's hilly terrain, has favored this technology to generate electricity for lighting and other productive end uses in scattered remote villages of Nepal. The promotion of mini/micro hydropower is initiated with the water mill (locally called Ghattas) in remote areas of Nepal [ 23 ].
