More than 60 percent of Nepal's population has no access to electricity. Only 33 percent, mostly in urban areas, is supplied power from the grid, and 7 percent derive electricity from alternative energy sources. For the reset it is perceptual darkness once the sun goes down. Giving the power shortages in the capital, remote rural areas have a long wait ahead. Where micro-hydro power plants are not feasible either, the grid could take decades to arrive.

Wind and solar are also renewable energy source that they has utilizing by generating 600W of electricity for the 45-household community, which uses the power for lighting and to charge mobile phones.
