Nepal Bankers’ Association (NBA), in collaboration with GIZ under the REEEP–GREEN project framework, has successfully concluded Capacity Building Workshop aimed at developing and operationalizing an Energy Efficiency Loan Mechanism in Nepal.
As part of the initiative, a series of workshops were organized across major industrial corridors in different places – Bhairahawa, Butwal, Pokhara, Biratnagar, Birgunj, Chitwan and Nepalgunj engaging bank’s province heads, branch managers and credit officials. In total, the program strengthened the technical understanding of energy efficiency financing for more than 200 senior officials from eight banks. During the workshops, the participants received hands-on exposure to how such financing can support industries to reduce energy costs while contributing to Nepal’s green and competitive industrial growth.
The concluding program was held in Kathmandu in the presence of senior officials of participating banks, where feedback and insights from the provincial workshops were shared to support product finalization. The event provided a valuable platform for the industry leaders to discuss opportunities, implementation readiness and the role of the financial sector in accelerating Nepal’s energy efficiency transition.
NBA is committed to further strengthening the sustainable and green finance practices within the banking sector and looks forward to collaborate with different stakeholders mainstreaming sustainable financing practices in Nepal.
