Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Capability for the Hindu Kush Himalaya (REEECH)

A comprehensive needs assessment and feasibility study was undertaken among stakeholders involved in renewable energy and energy efficiency in ICIMOD’s eight regional member countries (RMCs) in the HKH – Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Myanmar, Nepal, and Pakistan – to assess current energy challenges, opportunity gaps and value addition potential of REEECH. The study identified a number of arenas where positive efforts could be made to harness the full potential of energy sources in the region.
