Nepal - Village Micro Hydro

Development Objective

The proposed development objectives of the Carbon Offset Project are: # Reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide. # Increase access to modern energy from renewable energy sources. The Carbon Offset project complements the ongoing World Bank Power Development Project by providing additional support for the achievement of its development objectives, in particular the objective of improving access of rural areas to electricity services. The overall development objectives of the Power Development Project are: (a) develop Nepal's hydropower potential in an environmentally and socially sustainable manner so as to help meet electricity demand, (b) improve access of rural areas to electricity services, and (c) promote private participation in the power sector as a way to improve sector efficiency and to mobilize financing for the sector's investment requirements.
