The majority of the unelectrified population in Nepal does not have access to a permanent water source from which they could generate electricity. However, human power is universally available and is quite applicable if only a small wattage is required. Several groups like the Nepal Light Project led by Professor Irvine-Halliday of the University of the Center for Energy Studies at the Institute of Engineering in Kathmandu, have come up with schemes for incorporating pedal generators in rural electrification projects for remote areas of Nepal.
