Changing the way Nepal tackles energy undersupply by investing in renewables & peak energy solutions. Part of the Dolma group: @DolmaImpact & @DolmaFoundation
The #COVID19Lockdown has cleaned the air over #Nepal and northern #India. So much so that for the first time in many years, Mt #Everest can be seen again from #Kathmandu Valley even though it is 200km away.

The @WorldBank predicts that the collective South Asian economy (India, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Nepal, and Sri Lanka)
will lose 1.8% of its annual GDP due to #ClimateChange by 2050.

Nepal's Finance Minister Yuba Raj Khatiwada gives his opening address at the Nepal Investment Summit 2019. More than 40 countries are participating in the 2 day summit starting today in #Kathmandu. #investinnepal#Nepal
Alarming figures presented by this @BBCNews story about the impact of climate change on Himalayan glaciers. It's impact on countries like #Nepal that depend on the Himalaya for water, food and energy production will be immense.

Disturbing publication by @icimod which confirms that if CO2 emissions are not cut rapidly, 2/3 of the glaciers in the #Himalayas could disappear. It also states that even if temperatures are kept within 1.5C rise, 1/3 would melt.
Developed over 5 years, the #HKHAssessment includes contributions from 350+ researchers and policy experts from 22 countries and 185 organizations.

Dolma signs MOU with Solar Farm for potential investment. It is the first on-grid solar project to sign solar PPA with NEA and is on course to be the first IPP to supply solar power to the grid.
This is why Nepal needs to urgently substitute coal-fired electricity imports with cleaner alternatives that can still meet growing energy demand in the dry months.
In spite of being nearly 7,000m high, Mt Machapuchre’s snow has melted away even in the height of winter. The link between the Paris Rulebook and the snowless Machapuchre massif is closer than we think.

@UNCDF's milestone report on the opportunities for #BlendedFinance to leverage the billions required to fill infra capital deficits in the developing world features a case study from @DolmaEnergy's work in Nepal #NepalEnergy#NepalInfrastructure https://t.co/O6dsSsXuUL
Lithium-ion prices fell by 80% between 2010-2017. With further price drops expected, battery storage is finally becoming economically sensible for utility size projects. The potential for filling peak time deficits is enormous @BloombergNEF#Nepal#NepalEnergy
The reality of the peak electricity deficit in Nepal - over half of supply is imported from India in the dry months, which is still not enough to meet peak demand. Figure courtesy of @nepalitimes, @Urja_Khabar#NepalEnergy#Nepal
