  • Cross Border Electricity Trade in Bangladesh–Bhutan–India–Nepal (BBIN) Region: a Cost-Based Market Perspective
    Cross Border Electricity Trade in Bangladesh–Bhutan–India–Nepal (BBIN) Region: A Cost-Based Market Perspective Jagruti Thakur1, Mohammad Reza Hesamzadeh1, Frank Wolak2 1KTH Royal Institute of Technology, 2Stanford University Current Draft: April 14, 2021 Abstract The rapid growth of electricity demand in developing nations, the availability of complementary generation resources and the emergence of digital technologies have created increased opportunities for international electricity trade. This paper proposes a framework for cross-border electricity trade in the Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) region that recognizes the governance challenges associated with establishing an international electricity market. We explore the lessons for BBIN region from different types of Cross Border Electricity Trade (CBET) models. Specifically, existing markets in North-West Europe (NWE), Latin America, and the United States (US) provide insights into the development of our proposed cost-based CBET framework. We provide recommendations based on our proposed CBET framework to improve efficiency and increase the extent of electricity trade in the BBIN region. Keywords: Cross Border Electricity Trade, BBIN, Cost-based market, Developing countries 1. Introduction In this paper, we propose a market-based framework for increasing the volume and efficiency of international electricity trade in the Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) region. A number of factors support this goal. In south Asia, 100 million people do not have access to electricity [1]. In addition, electricity demand in the region is expected to grow at an average rate of 6% per year [2]. Finally, the hydropower potential of Nepal, Bhutan, and India is 150 gigawatts (GW), out of which only 17% is currently utilized [3].

  • Electricity As a Cooking Means in Nepal—A Modelling Tool Approach
    sustainability Article Electricity as a Cooking Means in Nepal—A Modelling Tool Approach Ramchandra Bhandari * ID and Surendra Pandit Institute for Technology and Resources Management in the Tropics and Subtropics, TH Köln (University of Applied Sciences), Betzdorfer Strasse 2, 50679 Cologne, Germany; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +49-221-8275-2416 Received: 4 May 2018; Accepted: 4 August 2018; Published: 10 August 2018 Abstract: Cooking energy has an important role in energy demand of Nepal. Over the last decade, import of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) has increased by 3.3 times as an alternate cooking fuel to kerosene and firewood. The growing subsidy burden to endorse modern fuel switching from traditional energy sources and high import of LPG are challenges for sustainability and energy security. This paper analyzes the future residential cooking energy demand and its environmental and economic impacts from 2015 to 2035 using a Long-range Energy Alternative Planning System (LEAP) tool. In 2035, the LPG demand for cooking is projected to be 26.5 million GJ, 16.3 million GJ, 45.2 million GJ and 58.2 million GJ for business as usual (BAU), low growth rate (LGR), medium growth rate (MGR) and high growth rate (HGR) scenarios, respectively. To substitute LPG with electricity in the cooking sector by 2035, an additional 1207 MW, 734 MW, 2055 MW and 2626 MW hydropower installation is required for BAU, LGR, MGR and HGR scenarios, respectively. In the MGR scenario, substituting LPG with electricity could save from $21.8 million (2016) to $70.8 million (2035) each year, which could be used to develop large-scale hydropower projects in the long term.

  • Energy Poverty in Nepal: a Case Study on the Use of Biomass in the Rural Villages of Biratnagar
    Energy poverty in Nepal: A Case Study on the Use of Biomass in the Rural Villages of Biratnagar By POUDYAL Ritu 51-178229 A Master’s Thesis Submitted to Professor ARIMA Jun Graduate School of Public Policy (GraSPP) The University of Tokyo May 2019 Abstract This thesis focuses on the situation of energy poverty and traditional biomass energy (TBE) use in the rural villages of Biratnagar Metropolitan city of Nepal. Although it is believed that the TBE use and energy poverty can be eradicated through the supply of modern energy services, this case study reflects the minimal role of grid electricity supply in eradicating the use of TBEs in the study area. The result of the study shows how the poor socio-economic condition and low awareness level on the negative impacts of TBE use have been the main factors guiding the energy choices of the households. Lastly, based on the overall study about the energy situation of Nepal and the findings of the area study, the study provides recommendation to the state and the non-state actors to promote cleaner energy sources to reduce the energy poverty levels in Nepal. Keywords: Biomass, energy poverty, socio- economic development, traditional biomass energy, modern biomass technologies, Improved Biomass Technologies Acknowledgements First of all, I would like to thank my father Upendra Poudyal, my mother Raina Poudyal and my sister Riju Poudyal for their constant support in every step of my life. Their love has given me strength and motivation to accomplish my goals. I would also like to express my sincere gratitude to Professor Arima Jun for his guidance and support.

  • Energy in Nepal
    Energy in Nepal The Applied Research Programme on Energy and Economic Growth (EEG) aims to influence energy policy in developing countries. EEG brings together world-class academics to produce new evidence on the links between energy and economic growth in low-income countries. This evidence will be specifically geared to meet the needs of policymakers, filling in the knowledge gaps that obstruct their ability to develop sustainable, reliable and inclusive energy systems. To this end, EEG will hold a South Asia Policy Workshop in Kathmandu, Nepal on 28 September 2016. The workshop will bring together senior energy policy-makers, researchers and representatives from the private sector, NGOs and donors in South Asian countries to discuss the energy challenges facing the region, and consider policy relevant research questions that could address these constraints. This report offers an introduction to the key challenges and opportunities facing the energy system in Nepal, and aims to facilitate discussion at the workshop. Nepal’s energy demand Nepal uses little energy, inefficiently, but consumption is growing From 2000 to 2013, Nepal’s energy consumption grew 27%, from 8.04 to 10.17 million tonnes of oil equivalent (mtoe) (IEA, 2016). Consumption is projected to continue to increase, driven by a growing population and increased economic production (fig 1). Between 1990 and 2010, industry’s energy demand grew 9% annually, while transport’s demand grew 6.4% per year [ CITATION ADB15 \l 2057 ]. Despite this growth, Nepal’s energy demand remains among the lowest in Asia [ CITATION ADB15 \l 2057 ]. While the overall quantity of energy that Nepal consumes is low, the amount of energy consumed relative to economic output is very high.
