WindPower Nepal has been contracted by Sheshkant Foundation for installing a community based solar water pumping project to solve the issue of drinking water crisis faced by the people in Dhunibesi Village.

WindPower Nepal installed a 9.45kWp PV system along with a 7.5kW solar water pump controller that would operate a submersible water pumping system in the village.

Renewable energy projects have proved to be a reliable solution for achieving sustainable livelihood in rural communities of Nepal time and again, and WindPower Nepal is privileged to figure in such projects.

WindPower Nepal performed Detailed Feasibility Studies in 6 different sites of Humla District for installing solar mini-grid systems. The client of the project was Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (RERL), AEPC. The study comprised of detailed demand assessment, financial analysis, system design, transmission, and distribution line design, environmental and social impact assessment, and economic analysis of the sites.

WPN successfully carried out the feasibility study of three municipalities and paved the way for the municipalities to build and operate waste to energy projects using municipal solid waste.

After the successful commencement of the 40TPD commercial biogas and fertilizer plant, Gandaki Urja has now proposed to expand the project to generate electricity for its own consumption and fertilizer. The plant will also contribute to manage the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) generated in Pokhara-Lekhnath Sub-Metropolitan city.

WPN has conducted a feasibility study for Gandaki Urja Phase II and is now working to prepare the Detailed Project Report and Environment and Social Assessment Report.

WindPower Nepal is consulting CG Energy Infrastructure (CGEI), a company of Chaudhary Group, to develop a 200 MW on-grid solar in Nepal, spread across three different sites. The project has received survey license for all three sites from the DOED (Department of Electricity Development) and is now in the process of grid impact study and power purchase agreement with the Nepal Electricity Authority.

WPN successfully completed design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning of a 50m Wind Met Mast Systems in Chhusang, Mustang District, for Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC).

The Met Mast System will collect wind resource data along with other meteorological data for two years. Such wind resource mapping projects are key in achieving large scale wind farms in Nepal in the future.

With an aim of creating a meso-scale wind map of Nepal for commercial viability of wind farm, Technical University of Denmark (DTU) with support from World Bank and Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), Government of Nepal is carrying out the Energy Sector Management Assistance Program (ESMAP) wind resource mapping in ten different areas of Nepal.

WindPower Nepal conducted assessment, of the current status of the project, setting a methodological procedure for Monitoring and Analysis of the data retrieved from the project from the accomplished project sites, and providing consultation for implementation of the project in the remaining sites. The client of the project was AEPC.

WindPower Nepal conducted “Feasibility Study for Upgradation of Solar Mini-grid Projects in Harkkapur, Okhaldhunga District and Bhorleni, Makwanpur District- a 31 kWp PV mini-grid system along with a 40KVA diesel genset at Harkapur and a hybrid 25 kWp PV-Wind mini-grid system in Bhorleni” for Renewable Energy for Rural Livelihood (GoN/AEPC).

WPN undertook the task of design, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance of 60m Wind Met Mast Systems at two locations (Hoksekot Rural Municipality Ward No-5, Rudrapur Dhaubadi Danda, Nawalparasi District and Gharapjhong Rural Municipality Ward No-2, Marpha, Mustang District).

WPN had successfully conducted the “Feasibility Study for Waste to Energy Projects in Birtamod Municipality, Bhadrapur Municipality, Damak Municipality and Hetauda Sub Metropolitan City” for the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC).

WindPower Nepal prepared a desk study report for a 5MW on-grid solar project planned in Belchautara, Tanahun, which has been submitted to the Department of Electricity Development Board (DoED) for a survey license application. The project is being developed by a Nepali company called Solar Farm Pvt Ltd, with a goal to sell the generated electricity to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA), the state utility.

WPN had carried out a prefeasibility study and concluded that the proposed site is suitable for solar PV plant installation. With abundant land area availability and fitting topography, Belchautara Solar Farm has a capability of producing up to 11.3 GWh electricity annually from a 5 MW solar farm. By using sophisticated software and innovative technology available in the market, WPN engineers were able to harvest a significant amount of energy, and simulation through various software showed that the solar PV plant was feasible.

WPN is supporting Freedom Energy, a company registered in Singapore, to set up an Energy Service Company (ESCO) in Nepal. The ESCO would build captive power plants and sell grid-quality electricity to clients. The ESCO would use Exeron technology, a highly intelligent hybrid power system. Exeron’s ability to combine and integrate energy from different sources such as solar, wind, electricity grid and diesel generators, would result in efficient provision of reliable and sustainable electricity to the consumers.
