  GSEP workshop supports Nepal's efforts to develop wind energy potential
  The GSEP, in collaboration with the Nepalese government's Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC) and MIT Solutions (P), is running a workshop on the planning and development of wind energy projects in Kathmandu, Nepal from September 1-6, 2013.
  Led by GSEP member State Grid Corporation of China (SGCC) and its China Electric Power Research Institute (CEPRI), the workshop directly supports Nepal's efforts to develops its wind energy potential. The country is in the early stage of establishing policy frameworks for the promotion and development of wind energy. As part of the government's target of increasing the share of renewable energies in the energy supply to 10% in the next 20 years, AEPC is planning to upscale the implementation of wind turbine installation in the country. This workshop contributes to enhance the country's capacity to plan, develop and implement wind energy sector projects, helping different stakeholder improve their understanding of Nepal's wind energy potential.
  The workshop was proposed by Suraj Baral, recipient of the GSEP's scholarship in 2006. Suraj is the founder and Managing Director of development and management consulting firm, MIT Solutions (P) Ltd, in Nepal that provides out of the box solutions that are reliable and efficient for realizing sustainable growth and development in the country.
