PITCO, in collaboration with CSP Services GmbH and PACE Nepal Pvt. Ltd., conducted renewable energy resource mapping for Nepal under the World Bank’s ESMAP initiative from March 2018, with ongoing activities. The project aimed to support the Government of Nepal’s objectives to develop 200 MW generation capacity of grid-connected solar and wind projects over the next ten years. The solar measurement campaign included planning, commissioning, and implementing high-quality solar measurement at five sites.
The project involved visiting proposed site locations, procuring and importing measuring equipment, arranging for site permitting and access, commissioning sites, and providing two years of high-quality meteorological data. The data collected was transferred to an open data platform for public dissemination, ensuring strong local involvement and capacity building. This initiative aimed to produce a country-adapted and validated solar map for Nepal, supporting long-term sustainable development in the renewable energy sector.
