Abstract: This study assesses the potential of selected efficient electrical appliances for CO₂ mitigation and reduced power generation in Nepal, from the technical as well as national, utility and user perspectives. The study shows that entire amount of CO₂ emission (about 1 million tons) could be avoided by the selected efficient appliances during 1996-2010 from the technical, national and utility perspectives. However, only about 50% of the total CO₂ emission could be mitigated cost-effectively from the user perspective at the prevailing electricity and appliance prices. The level of CO₂ mitigation from the user perspective would be significantly higher if an efficient electricity pricing policy were adopted.
