Gham Power, in collaboration with Practical Action and Swanbarton, has been awarded a project by the United Nations Industrial Development Organisation (UNIDO) to install one of Nepal’s largest energy storage systems, with a total battery capacity of 4MWh. The company announced that this initiative aims to help industries and businesses reduce diesel consumption and transition toward decarbonisation through smart grid development. UNIDO Director-General Gerd Müller launched the project in the presence of ambassadors from five countries where similar pioneering projects will be implemented. 

Representing Nepal at the launch were Nepali Ambassador Bharat Kumar Regmi, Gham Power CEO Anjal Niraula, and teams from Swanbarton and Practical Action. This groundbreaking project will replace polluting diesel generators with a large-scale battery storage system powered by solar energy. Over the next 25 years, it is expected to cut carbon emissions by 2,800 tonnes and displace 1,000 kiloliters of diesel, fostering a cleaner and more sustainable industrial sector.
