🌿⚡🏔️ Seven municipalities, one vision for Nepal’s mountain future.

On 30 July, local govts from Baglung & Gulmi endorsed the Operations Guideline 2082, launching the Daram-Badigad Committee – a first for integrated energy, watershed & disaster governance in Nepal.

⚡ Building Sustainable, Transparent, and Accountable Local Energy Governance

Micro-hydropower (MHP) cooperatives play a crucial role in managing decentralized renewable energy systems in Nepal. However, many still face challenges in governance, financial management, and operational transparency.

As part of our #InnovationLabNepal project, our partner RECOFTC Nepal has successfully installed nearly a dozen retaining and crib walls, along with 35 gabions, to protect the MHP powerhouse from potential landslides and intensified river scouring.

🌱 Making MHPs More Resilient – With Nature-Based Solutions!

Bioengineering can help make decentralized energy systems more resilient towards natural hazards. The Girikhola MHP in Tatopani, a mountainous municipality in Nepal’s Jumla district, has faced growing risks from landslides and erosion.

How can Nepal's remote mountain communities ensure the long-term sustainability of micro-hydropower plants (MHPs)? 🏔️🇳🇵

For 30+ years, MHPs have powered off-grid areas, but ageing equipment & lack of maintenance funds now threaten their reliability.

Why do mountain communities matter? 🌄

Our new factsheet explores how cross-sector collaboration is key to sustainable development in Nepal’s highlands, where 40% of the population lives. Climate change and outmigration demand urgent, integrated solutions. 🇳🇵
