Peak Power designed and built this 150 kW micro-grid as the delivery partner for Suryodaya Urja Pvt. Ltd who, in collaboration with ADB and AEPC, funded and led this project.
The project site is located at Thabang Rural Municipality Ward No-1&2, Thabang village, Rolpa District at an elevation of 2,036 meters. Thawang, a historic Magar village in Rolpa, is the epicentre of the Maoist insurgency. The clustered settlement of around 376 houses served as the shelter for Maoist leaders and combatants. It’s located on the banks of the Thabang River, and covers 191.07 square kilometers.
This microgrid feeds two distinct villages and provides energy for 30 street lamps, a local hospital, a local metal works business, a local milling and grinding business and two schools.
