Narrative

Full Description

Project narrative

In 2016, a RMB 37 million Chinese Government grant was provided for the Solar Photovoltaic Project at Singhadurbar (or the Solar Photovoltaic Project at Nepal’s Singha Durbar Secretariat). Through this project, the Chinese Government sought to illuminate the Nepali government administrative headquarters known as Singhadurbar by solar power. The installation of solar panels began on November 28, 2016 in at least 21 buildings around the central secretariat of the Nepali government, including the Prime Minister's Office, the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Energy, among others. This project was completed on April 10, 2018. China State Construction Engineering Corporation Ltd. was the contractor responsible for project implementation. The Singha Durbar Secretariat is located in Kathmandu. Its exact locational coordinates are 27° 41′ 53.77″ N, 85° 19′ 30.91″ E.
