Gham Power – Powering health: KIOCH’s solar transformation (Nepal)

KIOCH, a pediatric hospital in Damak, Nepal, installed a 31.6 kWp rooftop solar PV system to address chronic power outages and voltage fluctuations from the grid. The project, implemented by Gham Power with financial support from GRID Alternatives, provides reliable power to 200 hospital beds. Over 25 years, the system is projected to reduce carbon emissions by 70 tons and displace 10.5 kiloliters of diesel fuel.

• The installation of a 31.6 kWp commercial rooftop solar PV system at KIOCH provides reliable power to 200 hospital beds, addressing previous issues with grid instability and dependence on diesel generators.
• The solar project is estimated to displace 10.5 kiloliters of diesel and reduce carbon emissions by 70 tons over a 25-year period.
• The project was executed by Gham Power with financial backing from GRID Alternatives and included technical training for 10 international volunteers from RES in off-grid solar installation.
