Efficient Transmission of Electricity from Renewable Energy Sources in Nepal The general objective of the Project is to contribute to the sustainable economic and social development of Nepal and to the improvement of living conditions of the Nepali population (indirect contribution to the reduction of poverty, Millennium Development Goal (MDG) 1). Moreover, the Project will lead to global environmental and resource protection (MDG 7) via CO2e emission reductions, achieved by substituting emission-intensive fossil fuels for electricity production with climate-friendly electricity from hydropower.
