This paper presents a review of energy storage systems covering several aspects including their main applications for grid integration, the type of storage technology and the
In the wet season, Nepal exports its surplus hydroelectricity to India through Indian Energy Exchange. As of 8 June 2022, four of Nepal's hydroelectricity projects export a total of 234 MW of electricity to the Indian market. Nepal has substantial wind energy potential, with estimates of over 3000 MW total capacity.
About 23% of the electricity is imported, with the rest almost completely supplied by hydroelectricity. Nepal also exports hydroelectricity to India in the wet season. Nepal has no known major oil, gas, or coal reserves, and its position in the Himalayas makes it hard to reach remote communities.

One major problem with this is that burning these biomass substances for cooking is a common practice (87.3%) and thus exposes those living in the house to harmful air pollutants.
Smaller shares of energy come from commercial sources like petroleum and coal (28.2%) and renewable sources. About 23% of the electricity is imported, with the rest almost completely supplied by hydroelectricity. Nepal also exports hydroelectricity to India in the wet season.
