Shey-Phoksundo 287 kWp Solar Mini-Grid Project, Dolpa(ONGOING PROJECT)
July 4, 2026
Project Overview
Sunshine Energy Private Limited / SNK JV is implementing the 287 kWp Solar Mini-Grid Project in Shey-Phoksundo Rural Municipality, Dolpa, one of Nepal’s most remote and geographically challenging high-altitude regions. The project aims to provide reliable, clean, and sustainable electricity access to rural communities through solar power generation, battery storage, power house construction, distribution networks, and household-level electricity connections.
Key Details
- The project covers multiple remote sites within Shey-Phoksundo Rural Municipality, including major project locations such as Saldang, Komang/Komas, Mukporang/Mukporyng, and other cluster sites. The scope includes solar PV installation, power house construction, battery and inverter system installation, distribution line construction, pole erection, wire stringing, earthing works, streetlight installation, testing, and commissioning. Major works such as material transportation, power house installation, pole erection, solar structure installation, and distribution network development have progressed significantly across the project sites.
Challenges
- •The project is being implemented in an extremely remote Himalayan region with difficult terrain, high altitude, harsh weather, limited transportation access, and a short working season. Material transportation, manpower mobilization, site access, communication, and construction scheduling have been highly challenging due to geographic isolation and climatic conditions. The project also requires careful technical execution across scattered sites while maintaining safety and quality standards in a difficult field environment.
Solutions
- •The project has been executed through site-wise planning, phased material transportation, careful manpower deployment, and continuous technical supervision. Field teams have prioritized critical works such as power house construction, solar structure erection, pole installation, distribution line development, battery/inverter installation, and site-level electrical works. Despite severe logistical and climatic challenges, the project has achieved substantial progress and continues toward completion with a focus on safe installation, reliable system performance, and long-term community electricity access.
