This impact study of community electrification in Nepal focuses on micro-hydropower projects and assesses their contributions to socio-economic, environmental, health, and educational improvements in rural areas. The findings highlight significant reductions in firewood usage and CO2 emissions, increased use of modern energy for income-generating activities, and greater access to health services, although challenges such as maintenance and limited financial support still persist.
