The solar energy has been sold to the Nepal Electricity Authority at Rs7.30 per unit. The total investment cost of the project is around Rs900 million. Each solar panel covers an area of 2.22 square-meter. According to Kushal Projects, a total of 28,504 panels has been installed at the plant.
The IBN has been preparing two large solar energy projects: a grid-connected solar project in Kohalpur and Banganga (250 MWp with 40 MW storage), and a grid- connected project with BESS technology (245 MWp with 20 MW storage). The two projects are to cost USD 158.5 million and USD 176.43 million
The total cost estimate of the proposed installation was NRs. 1,32,23,744 with VAT shown in table 6 and 7. The financial parameters like loan period, interest rate, discount rate, construction period etc. that act as major inputs for financial analysis are shown in table 8. Table 6: Cost Estimate
