Talking about the wind Kathmandu Post Nepal, July 1 -- Nepal's energy mix, currently dominated by hydropower, is expected to be more diverse in the coming years with developers showing interest in renewable energy projects. Nationally Determined Contribution has set a goal to expand clean energy generation from approximately 1,400 to 15,000 megawatts, of which 5-10 percent will be generated from mini and micro-hydropower, solar, wind and bio-energy by 2030. Out of this, 5,000 megawatts is an unconditional target, and wind energy may be a viable option to meet this goal. The wind mapping data from the World Bank Group shows that Nepal has a very good potential for wind energy generation, but not much has been done on this front so far. A few small-scale wind turbines set up in various parts of the country have become a viable option for those areas not connected to the national grid.
