Hydropower is Nepal’s most available, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy source. Requiring only the power of moving water – rivers, streams – hydropower is also domestic and sustainable. Free from a dependence on volatile fuel prices, much of the money invested in hydropower stays in Nepal.

Availability

Nepal has abundance of water resources. It is Nepal’s largest source of clean electricity and with the right rules and regulations, it has significant room to grow.

Reliability

Hydropower is the most used and reliable source of power in the Nepal. That proven reliability benefits Nepal in a number of ways, from supporting other renewable energy sources to stabilizing the network to storing electricity for later use.

Affordability

Hydropower is not only a low cost source of renewable electricity, it is among the most cost effective energy sources across the board. And since hydro taps the self-renewing power of our waterways, electricity from hydro is not subject to unpredictable price swings in the energy market.

Sustainable

Using hydropower – our leading source of renewable energy –avoids the emission of carbon pollution from fossil fuels.

Save Energy

Sagarmath Jalabidhyut believes in the importance of conserving energy for a sustainable growth . A few simple steps can reduce our energy consumption and be energy smart. Here are some tips to cut down energy during the energy crisis in Nepal.

Shift consumption

Lets avoid adding to the power demand during 9 am - 8 pm peak times.Usage of washing machines, geysers, irons, building water pumps – all can be shifted away from this time band without much inconvenience.

Switch off from the plug point

Whenever we leave a plug point ‘ON’ after switching an electrical appliance ‘OFF’, power is still being consumed in ‘stand-by mode’. Lets avoid this wastage by switching off our ACs, TVs, washing machines, microwaves, geysers and mobile chargers from the plug point. Every single time.
