Kathmandu . Gham Power, in collaboration with Practical Action and Swanbarton, has been awarded a project by the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) to install one of Nepal’s largest energy storage systems, with a total battery capacity of 4MWh.
This initiative aims to help industries and businesses reduce diesel consumption and transition towards decarbonization through smart grid development. The project was officially launched by UNIDO Director-General Gerd Müller in the presence of ambassadors from five different countries where similar pioneering projects will be undertaken. Representing Nepal at the ceremony were Nepali Ambassador Bharat Kumar Regmi, Gham Power CEO Anjal Niraula, and teams from Swanbarton and Practical Action.
The project is expected to transform industrial energy use by replacing polluting diesel generators with a large-scale battery storage system powered by solar energy . Over the next 25 years, it is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 2,800 tonnes and displace 1,000 kiloliters of diesel, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable industrial sector.
With AI-powered energy optimization, the system will enhance energy efficiency, reduce costs, and improve reliability across industries. The initiative is part of the Accelerate-to-Demonstrate (A2D) Facility by UNIDO, positioning Nepal among five global projects showcasing AI-driven energy solutions.
Gham Power, through its innovative technology and commitment to clean energy, is driving Nepal towards a smarter, more resilient, and sustainable energy future.
