Grid-connected solar capacity has reached over 141 megawatts, with private power producers running most of it, and the Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) also operates its own projects. Off-grid programs remain just as important. [pdf]
Nepal has an estimated potential solar generation of 50,000 TWhs annually, which is 7,000 times more electricity than the country currently uses. However, the country’s solar energy sector is underdeveloped, and just a fraction of solar energy is captured. [pdf]
This project develops self-sufficient, resilient battery storage solutions for Nepal’s high-mountain regions, addressing local hazardscapes, energy needs, and post-disaster recovery. By deploying second-life lithium-ion batteries, it lowers costs and promotes a circular economy. [pdf]
As of 4 March 2025, Nepal's total installed electricity capacity is 3421.956 megawatts (MW). This includes 3255.806 MW from hydropower, 106.74 MW from solar, 53.41 MW from thermal, and 6 MW from Co-generation. The following is a list of the power stations in Nepal. .
• Solar power stations• 10 other small hydropower stations (total: 2.460)• 29 small isolated hydropower stations (total: 5.676 MW) .
• • • • • Through programs like the Karnali Ujjyalo Programme, solar plants with battery storage have been installed in districts such as Dolpa, Mugu, Jumla, and Humla. In 2018, the government introduced net metering, allowing households to sell extra electricity back to the grid. [pdf]
Lithium batteries for telecom towers are advanced energy storage devices that provide reliable backup power for telecom infrastructure. They ensure continuous operation during power outages and support remote or off-grid locations by powering base stations and auxiliary equipment. [pdf]

Nepal launched its largest wind-solar power system in December 2017 to serve rural households in the Hariharpurgadi village, Sindhuli district, under the Power System Expansion Project. The system has the capacity to produce 110 kilowatt-hours of energy per day. The country also operates a mini-grid wind-solar system in rural village of the Nawalpa. Recently two wind turbines each of 5 kW capacities with 2 kW of solar hybrid system has been implemented supported by Asian Development Bank in Nawalparasi, Dhaubadi VDC apart from small wind solar hybrid system pilot projects in various places of the country.
