Gham Power – Powering steel manufacturing with a 1.3 MW solar (Nepal)

This case study describes the installation of a 1.3 MW rooftop solar PV system for Goyal Ispat, a metal factory in Ramgram, Parasi, Nepal, to reduce reliance on the grid and diesel generators.

• Goyal Ispat, a metal factory in Nepal, installed a 1.3 MW solar system to address high electricity costs, voltage fluctuations, and power quality issues associated with its 33kV NEA grid connection and 500 kVA diesel generator backup.
• The solar project, completed on 4th July 2025 and supported financially by KfW, the Alternative Energy Promotion Centre (AEPC), and DKTI, is projected to save the factory 2–3% on electricity bills in its first year.
• Over a 25-year period, the 1.3 MW solar system is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 2,970 tonnes and replace 452 kiloliters of diesel.
