Why should we study pumped storage systems in Nepal Himalayas?

Nepal Himalayas provide an ideal testbed to study pumped storage systems given high topographic gradients, large flow fluctuations, and prevalent energy demand patterns.

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.

How long will it take to build Budhi Gandaki hydropower plant?

The Budhi Gandaki Hydropower Project, a storage-type hydropower project and the largest hydro project in Nepal once built, is expected to take eight years and cost $2.6 billion for construction.

Where is a hydropower project located in Nepal?

The Budhi Gandaki hydropower project is located in Gorkha and Dhading districts in Nepal. This storage-type project, which will provide energy security for Nepal for the next decades, has been in limbo for over a decade due to funding uncertainty. The project will store water in the rainy season and use it to produce energy in the dry season.
