1 Executive Summary

Government of Nepal (GoN) established the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) in 1996 with the objective of developing and promoting renewable energy technologies in Nepal. In due course of time, it has positioned itself as an established national focal agency for the Rural and Renewable Energy sector development in Nepal. As the results of past learning from different programmes and projects, the GoN and Development Partners (DPs) jointly agreed to support for the implementation of the National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) which follows single programme modality, starting from 16 July 2012 and ending on 15 July 2017 with 170.1 Million USD estimated budget. The NRREP has entered into its 3rd year of implementation.

This report covers an incremental progress made by NRREP in the first Trimester of NFY 2071/72 as well as overview of cumulative progress achieved so far. The MQA unit of the AEPC/NRREP managed, coordinated, compiled and consolidated this report for which all the program components, subcomponents and units contributed their respective progress status. Despite various operational challenges, NRREP has achieved substantial progress in the reporting period that is summarized below; starting from organizational achievements:

• Towards operationalizing CREF, a technical evaluation process of handling Banks and partner banks completed (4 banks for handling and 9 for partner banks are shortlisted). Hiring processes for CREF Lawyer and National Project Facilitation Advisor are under way.

• AEPC SOD has been approved from the AEPC Board. Other progress include initiation of the Revision process of Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy, preparation of a draft planning framework and initiation of a study for strengthening the public accountability of AEPC activities.

• Annual procurement plan of AEPC/NRREP prepared following the government’s PPA/PPR guidelines and started implementing the procurement plan.

• Developed Communication Strategy and One year action Plan of AEPC/NRREP as a tool for increasing outreach. AEPC/NRREP has signed MoU with Multi Stakeholders Forestry Program (MSFP) to further promote the renewable energy technologies in Nepal. Other progresses include orientation for more than 175 staff of DDC and Municipalities, conduction of feasibility study of Energy Hubs and updatation of DCEP in 25 districts in the reporting trimester.

• Clean Cooking Solutions for All by 2017 (CCS4ALL): Request for additional funds has been forwarded to MoF to address government target of 800,000 ICS made through budget speech. CCS4ALL has been incorporated into the "Framework for Energy+ Cooperation with the Government of Nepal towards achieving Sustainable Energy for ALL in Nepal" signed by GoN and DPs. A draft proposal on “Scaling up of Improved Cook stoves Programme (SIP)" has been prepared.

• Online database system (www.re-source.org.np) is upgraded under RE-Source program. New strategy has been formulated which is being approved soon.

• Other progress include preparation of DPRC manual, Micro hydro operation manual, Solar water pumping manual, LEDC manual and publication of biogas market strategy manual.

Apart from these broad organizational achievements, the NRREP has been successful in gaining significant results particularly in terms of cross-cutting works, operational tools and mechanisms for further accelerated implementation of NRREP. To showcase a few of them:

• Completed first phase of integrated MIS development process and started testing and using the system, it operated on BI tool. The power output and household verification process of completed MHPs and third party monitoring process for completed biogas, solar, MICS and IWMs has been started. The Result framework of AEPC/NRREP reviewed.

• As a GESI mainstreaming initiatives, feasibility study for bare foot engineering pilot testing has been completed and identified 18 potential RETs catchment areas. A guideline focused on case study preparation has been prepared which will be used by RSCs in future. Organized a review and reflection program to assess current GESI mainstreaming plan of NRREP.

• Issuance of 0.18 million tons of CERs attributable to Biogas completed. The World Bank has transferred a sum of USD 1.17 million as carbon revenue. The first periodic verification of Nepal Biogas Support Program-PoA is completed; ADB/FCF and AEPC have undergone the Certified Emission Reduction Purchase Agreement (CERPA) effective from 9 September 2014. This agreement assures the transaction of 75,000 CERs (worth USD 0.375 million) attributable to the IWM PoA generated up to the period of 2019.

From technology promotional perspectives, significant progress has been made in this reporting trimester. Key progress areas are highlighted below:

• Supported to 11,353 numbers of SSHS & SHS, 113 ISPS and 8 PVPS benefiting 17,403 households in the rural areas of Nepal. Developed an Online Subsidy Application System (form) and it is being tested. The NAV system upgraded, preparatory works to establish ULAB management and recycling system and 165 trips mobilized for random monitoring of solar home system in field

• Supported to 2,050 MICS and disseminated 54,989 mud ICS in different parts of the country. Conducted Training for 575 Stove Masters, 882 Cluster Level Behavior Change Workshops and 516 VDC Level Action Committee meetings. Different interaction workshops with stakeholders’ organized and completed installation of an institutional improved biomass cookstove at Bridashram of Pashupati Social Welfare Center.

• Supported to 16,579 domestic biogas plants benefiting same number of households of rural areas. GoN and World Bank signed an agreement on SREP for extended biogas (large biogas programs). Completed procurement process for gas analyzers, pH meters and measuring instruments necessary for the monitoring. A Website for Waste to Energy has been updated and ready for the online applications.

• During the reporting period altogether 1,305 rural households have been electrified through MHPs. A total of 125.6 kW power has been generated from 10 Micro/Pico Hydropower Projects. Further, subsidy supports has been provided to 517 completed IWMs. Other progress include the continued supports to Kathmandu University turbine testing lab, PQ processes of MHP manufacturing and installer companies, completion of PQ extension of LPO and Kit manufacturer companies etc.

The promotion of MSMEs is an important area of NRREP intervention. The progress achieved in this sector is summarized below.

• A total of 78 numbers of new and existing MSMEs have been supported through which additional 191 employments have been increased in the reporting trimester. A total of 616 IGAs also promoted in this reporting period. Two batches of interaction workshops conducted for effective PEU promotion in coordination with Cottage and Small Industry Development Board (CSIDB). Local Economic Development (LED) committees are formed in 32 MHPs and business opportunity assesment (BOA) conducted in 33 MHP catchments. A MoU has been signed with CSIDB and Practical Action Nepal for effective implementation of PEU activities through partnership approach. Similarly, NRREP’s MSME and IGA guidelines are revised and approved in this period.

The overall financial utilization rate of NRREP till the reporting period is 28%. Total planned budget of NRREP in the current fiscal year is NPR 3,902,528 thousands and the expenses till the first Trimester is NPR 976,128 thousands, which shows 25% financial progress. In the first trimester of the FY 2071/72, total NRREP expenses is NPR 976,128 thousands against the planned budget NPR 655,819 thousands, which shows 149% progress against the Trimester plan. In case of subsidy, total annual planned budget of the year is NPR 2,684,150 thousands and the total disbursement till the first trimester is NPR 786,001 thousands, which shows 29.3% progress against the annual subsidy plan.

Some of the planned activities could not be completed within the set time frame. The NRREP has shifted major incomplete works in the second Trimester. Most common reasons for the deviations were delay in contract and fund transfer from AEPC, delay in finalization of technical manual and training conduction, festive seasons etc. Please refer to the section 6 of this report for detail analysis of risk and challenges.

Joint Mid Term Review (MTR) of NRREP has been accomplished by GoN and DPs in November 2014 with a number of positive feedback and recommendations.

The progress trends of the first Trimester show that achievements in some areas have overshoot targets while the achievements in a few areas are behind the targets. However, the AEPC/NRREP wants to reassure to its stakeholders that efforts in the remaining period will be accelerated in the ongoing/coming Trimesters as per the program plan and principles to make full achievement of the targets. The NRREP will also look into the possible solutions to overcome emerging challenges and problems in due course of time. Incorporation of recommendations of midterm review has already begun in the annual work plan and budget revision of current fiscal year and this will be taken further into the forthcoming plans. We expect frequent review of the program activities by the AEPC Board, Program Coordination Committee and Programme Steering Cmmittee to recommend additional measures/suggestions for the improvement.

5.3 Other initiatives:

ENDEV:

Micro Hydro Debt Fund has been supporting MHPs up to 100kw through the loan financing in Nepal. So far, Clean Energy Development Bank has provided loan to 21 projects, amounting over Rs. 39 million. With this, 749 kilowatts have been generated and over 7,300 households have been electrified. Similarly, Himalayan Bank has provided loan to 9 projects, amounting over Rs. 24 million. With this 356 kilowatts have been generated and over 3200 households have been electrified.

This is still the same as banks are waiting for the result of RFP and they have not made new loans.

UNCDF:

Till the end of first Trimester, four financial service providers, Ace Development Bank, Clean Energy Development Bank, Jeevan Bikas Bank and Sana Kishan Bank will together provide rural energy technology loans to 15,382 proposed households or minimum loans to 9,997 households. The financial service providers will themselves provide retail loans to end use clients or they will provide retail loans to partner service providers who will then provide retail loan to end use clients. To achieve this targets the four financial service providers have been facilitated to provide workshops/training programs on RET lending, RETs demonstrations, orientation program for major stakeholders and other technology promotion program in various parts of Nepal. It is expected that these promotion activities will promote demand of RETs which in turn help the four financial service providers to reach their target for the year. Apart from this, AEPC/CleanStart is carrying out technician development training so that the retail RET borrowers can benefit from technology promotion and quick after sales service. Similarly, AEPC/CleanStart is also working in MIS system development so that financial service providers and partner financial institutions will be able to provide fast/easy financial service to retail customers as well

UNDP-GEF:

On 21 July 2014, the Government of Nepal and UNDP signed the project document of RERL, which is a joint initiative of the GoN, Global Environment Facility (GEF) and UNDP. The main objective of RERL is to support Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) to remove barriers for up scaling promotion of renewable energy projects, particularly less disseminated technologies such as mini-hydro and large scale solar PV systems to improve livelihood and conserve the environment. RERL is an integral part of National Rural and Renewable Energy Programme (NRREP) and aims to assist it in meeting its ambitious targets. To overcome the barrier in financing of larger off-grid renewable energy systems, RERL will support Central Renewable Energy Fund to design and implement financial instruments focusing on Public Private Partnership (PPP) modality.

The main activities carried out in 1st Trimester:

• RE Policy: RERL is supporting AEPC to finalize a comprehensive Renewable Energy Policy. A wide stakeholder consultation to finalize the draft document is scheduled for next trimester. • Grid Connection of RE Systems: CESC and RERL have been working with Nepal Electricity Authority to prepare technical specifications and policies related to grid connection of isolated renewable energy systems, particularly micro hydro. In July 2014, NEA Board decided to open grid connection for micro hydropower plants of less than 100 kW installed capacity and the technical specification prepared jointly by AEPC and NEA. This is a land mark decision that will help reinvigorate the renewable energy sector. • PPP Model: Preparation of GESI sensitive guidelines to encourage private investment in mini hydropower projects through PPP model was initiated. The guidelines will be finalized in 2015. It is expected that the high upfront cost associated with development of Mini Hydro and Large Micro Hydro projects will be partly met by the private sector if conducive institutional arrangement is in place. • Rural Electrification Master Plan: RERL in close consultation with CESC and SESC initiated activities related to preparation of District Rural Electrification Master Plan of Gorkha district. This master plan will build on the decentralized planning process practiced by DDC by bringing NEA on board and incorporating larger RE systems to optimize resource utilization on least cost basis. In this regard, RERL is also assessing the status of selected NEA owned Mini Hydropower Plants located at the district headquarters and potential for up gradation and capacity addition. While preparing the master plan of Gorkha district, detailed methodology and guidelines will be prepared to replicate the process in other districts. The District Rural Electrification Master Plan will compliment the District Climate and Energy Plan prepared by DDCs with AEPC’s support.

• Feasibility Studies: Guidelines for detailed feasibility study (DFS) of Mini Hydro was prepared and published in the first trimester. The guidelines provide clear outline for undertaking DFS of projects to be developed with AEPC support. It will standardize DFS of mini hydropower plants. During this trimester, RERL also undertook detailed feasibility study of Bom Khola, Taman Khola, Phawa Khola Mini Hydro and Geological Study of Sani Micro Hydro damaged by landslide. • Training/Orientation: Productive Energy Use Component of NRREP and RERL jointly organized two orientation programmes for Cottage and Small Industries Development Board (CSIDB) for RE based MSME promotion. CSIDB was oriented on PEUC’s approach, implementation modalities, forms and formats. Potential for undertaking joint activities were also discussed during the orientation. • RERL initiated preparation of GESI sensitive PPP modality for development of mini hydropower projects. To attract private investment but to protect the interest of women and other marginalized communities in rural/renewable energy projects, the guidelines/modality will be helpful. • RERL supported to develop solar PV android mobile application for Nepal (SPV4N). This application will help people to calculate the size of the system required and tentative cost and identify nearest service providers and immensely reduce time for applying for subsidy particularly for those living in rural/remote areas.

UNESCAP: In Nepal, with the support from UNESCAP, the concept of Pro Poor Public Private Partnership will be piloted. The major objective of this approach will be to pilot the private sector investment in RE projects. It will coordinate with NRREP activities for piloting new ideas and approaches towards RE promotion. The following is the progress of the 5P project.

• Agreement has been reached to start project construction of Solar mini-grid system of size around 18kW at Baidi VDC of Tanahun district The construction of projects is anticipated to be started by January 2015. • Based on the recent changes in the timeline and activities, LoA signed between AEPC and UNESCAP, is being revised. • An NGO, Rural Empowerment Society Damauli Tanahun Nepal (RESDTN), contracted to provide social mobilization services in both project sites. The community mobilization has helped to garner support from the other government stakeholders such as DDC and VDC in order to implement these projects. • SaralUrja, Nepal has been selected as the private company to initiate Incubation Phase at the Baidi VDC in order to establish SPV and carry out the all the preliminary activities before the project goes into construction phase. • Energy Week with the involvement of DDC, RESDTN, Saral Urja and community has been conducted at Baidi Tanahun to finalize the issue of project size, tariff rates, ownership model etc.

SREP: The World Bank under Scaling up Renewable Energy Program (SREP) is supporting Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC) to develop market for large scale Commercial Biogas and Municipal Solid Waste

(MSW) to energy projects in Nepal. SREP is expected to contribute on achieving NRREP targets of large biogas plants especially commercial biogas plants and waste to energy projects (MSW biogas plants). SREP funding will be provided to reimburse AEPC’s contribution after the plant (commercial and MSW plants) is constructed and operational, and is producing energy as certified by an Independent Verifier. The total grant amount of SREP under Extended Biogas Program is 7.9 million dollar. Some initial activities have been accomplished in this fiscal year. The government has finally endorsed the SREP project as the extended biogas project to support the construction of large biogas plants in Nepal. 1 million US dollar has been set aside for technical assistance whereas 6.9 Million have been allocated for subsidy.

SASEC: Agreement made between GoN and ADB dated 27th July, 2014, for “South Asia Sub-regional Economic Cooperation Power System Expansion Project SASEC: PSEP (RRP NEP 44219)” has a two prone approach: National Grid Expansion (Implementing Agency is NEA) and off grid RE based Electrification Mini grid (Community Electrification Projects (Implementing Agency is AEPC). The outcome will be in the form of increased capacity of national electricity grid and increased renewable energy use. The off grid component will be implemented by AEPC as a part of NRREP under its framework. Major progress of the first trimester are-

• 4 No of Consultants (PICs) hiring process initiated (Candidate Shortlisted and send for ADB concurrence) • TOR and RFP and ready to float to hire existing RSCs for social mobilization services
