Table 2: Strategy for the energy sector Overall sectoral strategies Sectors Strategic action Milestones WEM WAM Enhance and maximize Power generation from renewable energy Power generation Development of hydropower plants Development and integration of variable renewable energy (VRE) into power systems Scale-up of distributed energy resources (mini- grid, off-grid isolated wind, solar, micro- hydro, and biogas) Development of policy on regional power sector integration, VRE integration, and grid flexibility Required power plant capacity in 2050 will be 34 GW – Hydropower 2.1 GW – grid- connected Solar PV power plants, and 1.1 GW of Off-grid and isolated renewable energy power systems Required power plant capacity in 2050 will be 50 GW – Hydropower 2.1 GW – grid- connected Solar PV power plants, and 1.1 GW of Off- grid and isolated renewable energy power systems Promote electrification and shift to clean technologies in the residential transportation, industrial and commercial sectors: Enhancement of clean fuel access Efficiency improvement Modal shift and e- mobility in transport Adoption of New technology in decarbonization Residential Electrification in all end-use services in urban areas Promotion of clean cooking technologies with high efficiency and low emissions in rural areas Electrification in cooking, space heating, water heating, and lighting in rural areas e emissions reduction in e reduction in per cent and 47 per cent reduction in respectively from the e emissions reduction in e in per cent and 100 per cent reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenarioOFFICIAL Promotion of efficient technologies in all end-use services REF scenario Industry Expansion of efficient and clean production technologies Electrification in process heat, boilers, and in motive power in all industries Replacement of traditional brick kilns (FCBTK) with modern improved brick kilns (zigzag kilns, and electric tunnel kilns) The intervention of CCUS in the cement industry The intervention of green fuels (electricity, waste, and hydrogen) for thermal processes in the industries Introduction of electric technology for process heat in heavy industries (metals, cement, and brick) e emissions reduction in e reduction in 43 per cent and 70 per cent reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenario e emission reduction in e in per cent and 95 per cent reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenario Transport Promotion of electric mass passenger transport Switching fuel to clean energy (electricity, fuel cells, synthetic fuels/biofuels in aviation) e reduction in e reduction in 26 per cent and 41 per cent e emission reduction in e in per cent and 97 per cent reduction inOFFICIAL Electrification in freight transport Installation and expansion of charging stations reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenario respectively compared to the REF scenario Commercia l Achieve total Electrification in all commercial sector e reduction in cent reduction in compared to the REF scenario e emissions reduction in per cent reduction in compared to the REF scenario Agriculture Electrification in farm machinery and water pumping Promotion of Solar PV pumping e emissions reduction in e reduction in 29 per cent and 38 per cent reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenario e emission reduction in e in per cent and 100 per cent reduction in respectively compared to the REF scenario IPPU: Nepal s emissions from industrial products and processing units are currently low. However, with the growth forecast and the recommended switch to renewable energy, it will be critical for Nepal to adopt energy-efficient technologies such as zig-zag waste related to fuel and raw materials such as limestone for the cement industry.

Question: How public transports will be made more attractive?
