Abstract
Nepal’s commercial sector consumed 1.3% of total national energy consumption in 2009. Although from national perspective, the sectoral energy consumption is low but reliable future energy demand is an essential requirement for sustainable utilization of available energy resources. The purpose of this study is to project the sectoral energy demand up to 2030 under selected anticipated growth scenarios of national economy.
