Wind Energy in Nepal

"According to a study by the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), Nepal has the potential to generate 3,000MW from wind energy, with the Kathmandu Valley alone capable of producing 70MW. On average, Nepal gets 18 hours of wind every day and at least two good windy days a week, and in some places like Kagbeni, 200MW could be generated from a single plant. Along with private firms and development organisations, the government too has shown interest in tapping into this resource."
