dc.descriptionNepal, a landlocked nation in the Himalayas with abundant natural resources, including potential for hydropower, still confronts considerable difficulties in satisfying its energy needs. The energy sector of the nation has been characterized by a high reliance on conventional energy sources, such as biomass and fossil fuels, which are inefficient and damaging to the environment. The residential sector, which consists of homes and small enterprises, is essential to energy consumption because it accounts for a sizeable amount of Nepal's overall energy demanden_US
dc.description.abstractThis thesis examines how the residential sector of Nepal generates demand for electricity. It examines consumption patterns, demand-stimulation techniques, infrastructure and affordability issues, and the negative effects of rising demand. To achieve sustainable growth in power demand, the study emphasizes the importance of continuous regulations, community involvement, and technology improvements. Due to urbanization, population expansion, and rising living standards, energy demand in Nepal's residential sector is rising. In this thesis, the intricate processes of creating electricity demand in Nepal's residential sector are examined, with an eye toward potential implications for sustainable energy management. Through surveys, interviews, and reviews of the literature, the study uses a mixed-methods approach to combine quantitative data analysis and qualitative assessments. Nepal is also converting to using electricity as a source of renewable energy for consuming energy. In the energy sector, Nepal only accounts for 8.87% of the total use of power, which is quite low compared to wealthy countries. The LEAP energy model tool is used to project the electricity demand from the base year of 2021 through 2045. With 2021 as the base year, business as usual and policy scenarios with low, medium, and high growth rates are taken into consideration to predict power demand.en_US
