Selling Renewable Energy in Nepal
Year 2012 Pages 74
This study has been conducted for the CONNECT Project of Laurea University of Applied Sciences. The main research question addressed in the thesis is whether Finnish companies should start a renewable energy business in Nepal. This process involved investigating the current renewable energy business and markets in Nepal. The main objective of this research is to support the growth and speed up the internationalization of Finnish small and medium enterprises of renewable energy to developing countries.
The purpose of the study is to examine the opportunity for market entry, the demand for renewable energy and the networking between different energy related organizations in Nepal. The energy crisis is increasing day by day in Nepal and there is great interest in alternative energy resources. Nepal has many natural resources with higher theoretical energy potential, but there are very few economically feasible sources. This study covers the micro and macro environment analysis.
The method used in this thesis is qualitative research, which includes personal interviews with four energy business-related organizations. Some common questions relating to the availability of resources, economic and environmental competitive, social acceptance, and the organization itself were prepared separately and sent to each respective organization via email. The format of the questionnaire included questions that can help provide answers and suggestions, which can support the entry of new companies in the Nepalese market.
The finding of this study is that it could be feasible to provide renewable energy services in remote areas because the Government of Nepal is providing subsidy in this area. Nepal is going to celebrate Investment Year 2012/13, which could provide many opportunities such as tax exemption for new businesses planning to invest in Nepal, especially in the energy or tourism sectors. Likewise, this research establishes that of all renewable energy resources the most used resource is Biogas. Finnish companies can concentrate on these resources. This research also investigates the extents of wasted energy in Nepal.
