Gham Power
Hydropower / Alternate Energy

Gham Power Nepal Private Limited is a renewable-energy focused social enterprise based in Kathmandu, Nepal. Founded in 2010 by Sandeep Giri, our initial goals were focused on reducing the burden that excessive power outages posed on Nepal’s urban population. Having installed over 2500 solar projects that cumulatively generate 2.5 MW of electricity, Gham played its part in urban electrification and soon after shifted focus to under-served rural markets by 2013.

Plan and supervise field visits to the Laxmi Steel factory and conduct data validation.
Contribute to communication and knowledge-sharing efforts to promote replication.
