Energy Efficiency Programme

Nepal currently has no 'national energy strategy'. The objectives of the country's energy policy are defined and updated in 5-year plans. Both the 10th five-year plan (2002/03 – 2006/07) and the current 3-year interim plan (2007/08 – 2009/10) are concerned exclusively with the electricity sector.
