Huawei Digital Power Nepal, in partnership with the Confederation of Nepalese Industries (CNI), hosted the Solar PV and Energy Storage Dialogue: Nepalese Industry on Monday, a high-profile event aimed at accelerating Nepal’s shift to sustainable energy.

Endorsed by the CNI, the Alternative Energy Promotion Center (AEPC), and the Energy Regulatory Commission (ERC), the event underscored a unified push to transform Nepal’s energy landscape. Industry leaders hailed it as a critical step toward decarbonizing businesses and boosting competitiveness in a global market increasingly focused on sustainability.

Huawei seized the moment to unveil its latest offerings: the Fusion Solar C&I OASIS Solution, featuring the 1C/150K and 215/108KWH Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). Launched by Huang, Chief Technical Officer Lixiaowei, and South Asia Digital Power MD Nixiaopeng, these systems promise cheaper, more reliable power for Nepal’s industries. The FusionSolar C&I OASIS Smart PV & ESS Solution, tailored for commercial hubs like malls and factories, boasts enhanced safety features—a nod to global low-carbon goals.

“We see Nepal’s incredible potential in shaping energy’s future,” Huang said. “Through collaboration and innovation, we can build a greener, digitally empowered ecosystem.” His remarks framed the event as a launchpad for sustainable solutions, aligning Huawei’s tech with Nepal’s needs.

CNI’s Ashish Garg doubled down on the urgency. “Nepal’s industries must adopt efficient, sustainable energy to thrive,” he said. “Solar PV and storage aren’t just green—they’re key to global competitiveness.” He pitched decarbonization as both a duty and a growth strategy, eyeing new markets and investment as Nepal pivots to clean energy.

James Zhang, Huawei Nepal Digital Power Director, emphasized the firm’s role. “We’re committed to helping Nepal’s industries hit their energy targets with innovative solutions,” he said. “Solar and storage will drive a resilient, cost-efficient future.” The unveiling of Huawei’s systems, he added, marks a milestone in that journey.

The event’s closing came from CNI Senior Vice-President Birendra Raj Pandey, who called it “a vital step” for Nepal’s renewable sector. “These solutions can cut reliance on fossil fuels and steer us toward efficiency,” he said, touting the Huawei-CNI partnership as a game-changer.

Nepal, with its vast hydropower potential and growing solar interest, stands at a crossroads. The dialogue tapped into that, spotlighting tech to offset the nation’s 90% renewable energy reliance—mostly hydro—while addressing industrial power gaps. Huawei’s BESS, for instance, could stabilize supply in a country prone to outages, while solar PV slashes costs for factories and offices.

Reaction online was upbeat. “Huawei and CNI are finally pushing Nepal green,” one X user posted. Another wrote, “Solar and storage could be huge for our industries.” Yet, challenges linger—high upfront costs, patchy rural grids, and regulatory hurdles could slow adoption.

Still, the event signals momentum. With CNI’s clout and Huawei’s tech, Nepal’s sustainable energy drive has a new spark—one that could light the way to a low-carbon economy.
