The National Association of Community Electricity Users-Nepal (NACEUN) is a national
federation of Community Rural Electricity Entities (CREEs). Since its establishment in 2005
under the NGO registration act, NACEUN has grown into a strong network comprising of over
300 CREEs from 54 districts in Nepal. There are 17 district chapters and 6 province chapters of
NACEUN.
Currently, 550,000 households have been electrified by these community rural electrification
programs. Likewise some additional households will have electricity access after completion of
under-construction projects in different districts. We are committed to ensuring a future where
every Nepali, irrespective of caste, gender, and position in the community has access to clean,
affordable, and reliable electricity and the members benefit from its productive end-use.
`
In regard to promoting productive end-use of electricity, considering electrical safety as the
major aspect, Bijuli Chulo app has been designed. This application aims to aware people of the
requirements, benefits, and usage of electric cooking. We believe this initiative contributes to
promoting a cleaner kitchen and surroundings to reduce cooking-related health complications
and drudgeries due to traditional or unclean cooking practices. This app contains videos of
recipes and methods for cooking various meals using electric cooking devices such as electric
pressure cookers, induction cooktops etc. including measures for electrical safety at household
and enterprise levels.
