In exercise of power conferred by Clause 9.1 of "Renewable Energy Subsidy Policy, 2069 BS" approved by Financial and Infrastructure Committee of the Council of Ministers of Nepal on 2069/10/14 BS, the Ministry has prepared this Renewable Energy Subsidy Delivery Mechanism, 2013. The Mechanism deals with the Institutional Arrangement, Criteria for Subsidy and Delivery Mechanism: Non-electrification ( Solar Thermal System, Institutional Solar System and Rural Community Solar Water System, Biogas, Biomass Energy, Impproved Water Mill). Also, it addresses Criteria and Delivery Mechanism of Subsidy: Rural Electrification (Solar Home System, Small Solar Home System, Electrification through the Small and Micro Hydropower, Wind Energy, Generation of Electricity from Biomass Energy), Productive Energy Use, the institution of the Central Renewable Energy Fund and other provisions.

The Subsidy Policy for Renewable Energy 2069 BS recognizes the renewable energy potential of Nepal and the necessity to improve its development through specific subsidies. The major sources of renewable energy in the country are hydropower, solar energy, various forms of biomass energy, biogas and wind energy. Clean and sustainable energy, such as renewable energy technologies, are the solutions to lacking electrification of poor rural areas.
