Solar has been installed in 460 households in Chumanubri and Dharche Rural Municipality of North Gorkha, where the central electricity transmission line does not reach. The solar connection work which started in 2076 under the domestic solar energy technology connection work through the Water Resources and Irrigation Development Division office has just reached its final stage.
Milan Poudel, Head of Water Resources and Irrigation Development Division, said that solar has been installed in Chumanubri Rural Municipality-3 and 6 and Dharche Rural Municipality-3, 4, 5, 6, and 7. He said that 230 households in Dharche and 230 households in Chumanubri were selected and connected with solar.
"After the completion of the solar connection work, the monitoring and testing work has also been completed by showing a technician from the renewable energy testing center," he said, "based on the technology test report, we will proceed with the final payment to the contractor and if improvements are required, we will proceed to complete the remaining work." But after almost five years, the work of connecting solar energy technology has reached its final stage. He said that according to Gandaki province's domestic solar energy technology connection procedure-2075, solar has been installed in the households selected by the local municipality.
There is a provision that 75 percent of the government and 25 percent of the related households should bear the cost of solar connection. "Households that do not have access to the central transmission line and have no option for electricity have been connected to solar," he said.
Solar has been installed with a budget of 79 lakh 47 thousand. With the aim of ensuring access to electricity through alternative energy to the citizens of Gandaki province who do not have access to electricity, solar connection work was started by choosing the remote areas of North Gorkha.
