Measures
Incentivize industrial energy efficiency measures for a more competitive industry sector
Based on PACE Nepal (2012), Nepal’s industry sector has ample opportunities to run its operations with greater energy efficiency. This will save costs and improve the competitiveness of the sector. In particular, thermal energy saving measures reduce the use of coal and oil products. The measures suggested in the baseline study are detailed in box 3.
NEXSTEP results align with the recommendations provided by PACE Nepal (2012} and the strategy set out in the National Energy Efficiency Strategy 2075, whereby energy audits should be promoted to all industries to identify and realise the energy savings potential. In addition, various policy measures can be considered for accelerating the green transformation through a range of policy measures. These may include market instruments (i.e., subsidies or taxes), emissions caps and trade systems (e.g., the European Union Emission Trading Scheme) or regulatory instruments. The Practitioner’s Guide to Strategic Green Industrial Policy by Partnership for Action on Green Economy (PAGE) provides industrial policymakers with tools and information for developing a strategic green industry policy (SGIP).
