Very interesting information:

A 5-member family’s per month consumption of energy (in terms of rupees) in Nepal:

10 years before: Kerosene – Rs 180; LP Gas- Rs 465; Electricity- Rs 600

5 Years before:   Kerosene- Rs 410; LP Gas- Rs 510; Electricity- Rs 788

Now:    Kerosene- Rs 1,090, LP Gas- Rs 845; Electricity- Rs 788

Electricity price in Nepal was considered one of the most expensive in the world. However, given the skyrocketing of the fossil fuel energy in the past few years, we can see how the prices have flipped in the Nepalese market.
