6 FAQs about [Nepal energy storage power station construction plan]

Should Nepal have storage power plants?

In the context of Nepal, the Integrated Nepal Power System (INPS) is predominantly a hydro-dominated one, where the base and intermediate power demands are met by run-of-river hydropower plants and import from India. Therefore, the national grid should have storage power plants to improve system reliability..

Is Nepal ready for pumped storage projects?

Due to global warming and subsequent climate change, Nepal needs to urgently identify sites for pumped storage projects. A reasonable number of pumped storage plants will help deliver energy security in the long term, besides enhancing system reliability. Pumped storage projects require significant capital for development.

Can pumped storage hydropower be used in Nepal?

In this study, we assess the potential of pumped storage hydropower across Nepal, a central Himalayan country, under multiple configurations by pairing lakes, rivers, and available flat terrains. We then identify technically feasible pairs from those of potential locations.

Can a geospatial model predict energy storage capacity across the Nepal Himalayas?

In this study, we configured a geospatial model to identify the potential of PSH across the Nepal Himalayas under multiple configurations by pairing lakes, hydropower projects, rivers, and available flat terrain, and consequently estimate the energy storage capacity.

Will Nepal's grid generate enough peak power?

According to Nepal Electricity Authority (NEA) study, the system grid will not generate sufficient peak power, even after the completion of 456 MW hydro-power project. Therefore, NEA is planning for series of storage projects to diversify energy generation.
