According to Department of Electricity Development, about 17 solar projects are currently being constructed in Nepal. NEA along with private sector investors are developing these projects. The department has already issued the license for the construction and the work of these projects is going on full swing.
As an alternative source of energy, solar power is gaining popularity across the global as well as in Nepal. Although the major investments for electricity production has flowed towards hydropower projects in Nepal, investors in solar projects have increased in recent years.
Solar Power in Nepal: – Solar energy is radiant light and heat from the sun, which has always been used by humans through a series of constantly evolving technologies. Solar radiation and secondary solar resources make up the bulk of the renewable energy available on Earth.
The government of Nepal has set the target of producing 15,000 MW of electricity in the next ten years. Understanding the concept of ‘energy mix’, the government has emphasized that the contribution of solar or renewable energy should be around 10-15 percent. Previously, the solar power was used only for the household purposes.
Solar power is being seen as a viable long-term solution in Nepal due to the challenges in connecting all households to the national electricity grid system, which is a result of scattered settlement and geographically remote terrain (Bhattacharya, 2006; Bhandari and Stadlere, 2011; KC et al., 2011).
However, lately the solar projects are being developed to generate electricity for the commercial purposes. Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) has signed Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with several solar power projects at an average of Rs 7 per unit. Hence, the development of solar power projects has gained momentum in recent times.
