dc.descriptionIndustrial development is very essential backbone for the economic development of a nation. The major economic development in the country is largely dependent on the industries operating within the country. With the active number of various industries running in the country, helps the country to achieve independence in economic status, decreasing imports and increasing exportsen_US
dc.description.abstractNepal is also transforming into renewable form of energy in form of electricity as source of energy consumption. Nepal accounts only 8.87% of electricity consumption in of energy sector which is very less in comparison to developed nations. Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targeted that the industrial sector has to increase the share of energy consumption up to 25% and uplift the nation from least developed country to middle by 2030. The electricity demand is projected from base year 2021 to 2050 using the LEAP energy model tool. Here, Business-as-usual and Policy scenarios with low growth rate, medium growth rate, and high growth rate are taken into account to electricity demand projection with 2021 as base year. For industrial sector overall electricity demand increase from 2,800.70 GWh in the base year to 57,172.17 GWh, 43,047.05 GWh and 32,408.31 GWh for high (6.52 %), medium (5.46%) and low (4.41%) growth rate respectively at Business-as-Usual Scenario by 2050. For policy scenario, overall demand increases from 2,800.70 GWh in the base year to 1,01,080.91 GWh, 76,107.57 GWh and 57,298.19 GWh for high, medium and low growth rate by 2050. Overall, in industrial sector is observed that the increment in electricity demand in policy scenario compared to BAU scenario for high, medium and low growth are 43,908.74 GWh, 33,060.52 GWh and 24,889.88 GWh in 2050 respectively. In Food, beverage & tobacco manufacturing it is observed that there is more electricity demand and less demand in electrical & electronic products manufacturing industry. In policy scenario with high growth, medium growth, and low growth the electricity consumption values in 2022 are 3,722.72 GWh, 3,685.49 GWh, and 3,648.61 GWh respectively. In Business-as-usual scenario, with high growth, medium growth, and low growth rates, the electricity consumption values in 2022 are 3,231.57 GWh, 3,199.26 GWh, and 3,167.24 GWh respectively. The actual electricity consumption for the industrial sector in 2022, as reported by the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), is 3,448.00 GWh. It is noted that the Business-as-Usual scenario with a high growth rate and the Policy Scenario with a low growth rate are quite close to the actual electricity consumption by the industrial sector in 2022. This suggests that these particular scenarios are more accurate or representative of the real-world consumption patterns in the industrial sector of Nepal.en_US
