        Nepal

        Almost the totality of the electricity generated in Nepal comes from hydropower. Most of the energy supply is from biofuels and waste as 21 million people still rely on traditional biomass for cooking. In 2000, 81% did not have access to electricity but with remarkable efforts from the government, only 6% of the population remain without access today.

        Electrification

        Country and regional highlights
        Electrification gains momentum across countries and sectors
        CO2 emissions
        In the Net Zero by 2050 Scenario, from now to 2030 most electrification-related emission reductions occur in transport
        Energy
        The share of electricity in energy demand will need to increase by 4% per year to get on track with the Net Zero by 2050 Scenario
        Technology deployment
        New cars and new houses are the main areas for deployment of electrification technologies

        Angola

        Angola is set to become the largest producer of crude oil in Southern Africa, yet has also set the foundation for the sustainable development of renewables, through investments and supportive measures. Angola has particularly strong hydropower generation potential that remains underutilised.
