The Energy Options Assessment is a technical review of Nepal’s alternative energy options that avoid hydropower dams, which have significant negative impacts on the country’s freshwater resources. The study compares the system costs of policies that would shift more investment toward other renewable technologies, such as wind and solar, as well as of policies that protected certain rivers.
