KATHMANDU: The construction of Nepal’s largest solar power plant with A.C. capacity of 10 MW, developed in Dhalkebar district in Province 2 has been completed.

The power generated by the project has been successfully evacuated to the national grid.

The developer , Eco power development Company Pvt ltd, contracted the project to the largest solar EPC company of Nepal, Kushal Projects Nepal Pvt Ltd. under design, supply, construction, operation and maintenance modality.

The task was possible due to a world-class in-house team of engineers from India led by the Sr. Technical Consultant  KC Narula.

The project is expected to address the scarcity of energy during the dry season and reduce dependence on importing electricity by generating more than 19 lakh units of electricity monthly.

According to its Chairman  Sandeep Agarwal, Kushal Projects Nepal Ltd is also managing five other solar projects across Nepal and is determined to make Nepal self-dependent for its electricity needs and help meet Nepal’s target of 15% solar power in its energy mix.
