Winrock's Clean Energy Group (CEG) operates through the Renewable Energy Project Support Office (REPSO) managed as local organizations worldwide foster cooperation between government agencies, private enterprises, nonprofit organizations, and communities in common pursuit of harnessing proven clean energy technologies for sustainable development.

Winrock seeks to create positive momentum and attract capital to the rural energy sector. WINROCK's strengths lie in its ability to build local institutional capabilities to foster sustainable development assistance efforts; organize multidisciplinary teams and execute targeted technical assistance projects; bring about successful adaptation and transfer of renewable energy technology; and to link project developers with technology vendors and specialists. REPSO/Nepal has extensive experience in renewable energy (RE) development in Nepal and the Asia Pacific region. We have successfully carried out energy-related policy studies for a number of international funding agencies and clients for over 15 years.

In Nepal, WINROCK has promoted and integrated renewable energy systems in rural communities, made improvements to and recommendations on policy framework and investment programs for renewable energy technologies (RETs), introduced renewable energy options for livelihood and poverty alleviation initiatives, facilitated linkages between micro financing and RETs, and built the capacity of NGOs, industry associations, private project developers, and government agencies. WINROCK's activities promoting use of renewable forms of energy, including promotion of community based rural electrification have been closely aligned with government plans and policies. WINROCK has close working relationships with various government agencies, and non-government organizations across Nepal.
