Project ImageOur focus
Where Ample focuses.
01Hydropower
Run-of-river generation is the backbone of Nepal's grid. Projects are licensed, long-dated and usually structured through dedicated project companies.
02Solar
Grid-connected solar is a smaller but growing complement to hydropower, particularly in the dry season.
03Energy companies
Businesses around generation, such as SAMS Energy Development Company, an Ample Associates associate project.
Before you commit
What to consider
Licensing and grid connection
Generation and connection licences, and power purchase terms, determine whether a project can proceed.
Hydrological and climate risk
Floods, sediment and landslides can damage infrastructure and interrupt generation.
Long time horizons
Energy projects typically take several years from licence to commercial operation.
