Abstract

This article examines a number of issues connected with the development of small‐scale hydroelectric power and related investments in Nepal. The micro‐hydro investment scheme in Barpak village serves as a case study, and the article also presents a number of related issues discussed against the background of the evolution of micro‐hydro power in Nepal. The article outlines the success of micro‐hydro development, modest in relation to its enormous potential, the realization of which depends on whether a number of challenges and constraints can be overcome. The article closes with suggestions on implementing sustainable micro‐hydro development in rural areas, based on the Barpak experience and the authors' other recent studies of rural energy issues in Nepal.
