With the increase in the population, the utilization and exhaustion of the world's fossil fuel storage is going rapidly as it can be converted to another energy source easilyElectric cooking is one of the best options to reduce the import-based LPG consumption and to increase the domestically generated electricity consumption in Nepal. This research is based on the national target of implementing electric cooking in 25% of households up to 2030. Madhesh Province is chosen for the study as this province has nearly finished electrification. The MATLAB Curve Fitting Toolbox is used for historical data fitting, selection of forecasting models and forecasting. The distribution of households in Madhesh Province using LPG, electricity and other cooking fuels for their primary means of cooking in 2021 are 28.7%, 0.8% and 70.5% respectively. In the base case scenario, the distribution of households using LPG, electricity and other cooking fuels are found to be 65.2%, 2.7% and 32.2% respectively by 2030 and in the electric cooking implementation case the distribution of households will be 42.83%, 25.00% and 32.2%. The electricity requirement in the base case scenario is found to be increased to 6265 GWh in 2030 from 2229 GWh in 2021. In the electric cooking implementation scenario, the electricity requirement will be 6920 GWh which is about 10.45% higher than the base case scenario. Similarly, the peak demand required in 2030 will be 1192 MW in the base case scenario and 1631 MW in the electric cooking implementation scenario. The maximum households in which electric cooking can be implemented are found to be on nearly 7% as per the distribution feeder and substation loading condition. The saving of LPG replaced by electricity for cooking purposesis calculated approximately 46,175 MT in 2030 and cumulative saving of LPG from 2023 to 2030 is found to be approximately 200,854 MT.enMATLAB CurveThesis
