Project Overview

Induction Cooking Pilot – Pokhara

The Induction Cooking Pilot Initiative in Pokhara is an early-stage project designed to introduce clean, efficient electric cooking solutions to households currently reliant on traditional biomass and LPG-based systems. As a pilot, this project will test the feasibility, adoption patterns, and impact of induction cooking technologies in a semi-urban Nepali context.

The initiative aims to support Nepal’s broader transition toward clean energy while reducing greenhouse gas emissions, indoor air pollution, and dependence on imported fossil fuels.
