Global Wind Power Tracker
The Global Wind Power Tracker (GWPT) is a worldwide dataset of utility-scale, on and offshore wind facilities. It includes wind farm phases with capacities of 10 megawatts (MW)
Possibility of solar and wind power plants Our study highlights that Nepal has an abundant resource of solar energy (i.e., up to 47,628 MW) and a relatively lower potential for wind energy (i.e., up to 1686 MW) compared to that of other developing countries (e.g., Bangladesh [ 10] and India [ 11 ]).
Karnali and Gandaki provinces have the highest solar and wind energy potential due to a large share of suitable locations with good resource quality. We estimate the 10th percentile of Levelized cost of electricity generation of 91 USD/MWh for solar and 46 USD/MWh for wind.
Similarly, Nepal has a co-location potential of about 890 and 267 MW of solar and wind energy. Karnali and Gandaki provinces have the highest solar and wind energy potential due to a large share of suitable locations with good resource quality.
The largest planned solar energy project is a 120 MW solar PV station in Dhalkebar in Dhanusha district. Nepal launched its largest wind-solar power system in December 2017 to serve rural households in the Hariharpurgadi village, Sindhuli district, under the South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Power System Expansion Project.
