Subject: Reaching out to talk about possibilities for the future of wind power in Nepal
Dear Patricia,
I stumbled across your cutting edge work in wind power when I was searching online for wind power technologies that could work well for extreme temperatures in Nepal’s mountains, and wanted to get in touch.
My name is Nisha Koirala, and I started Wind Farm Nepal ten years ago, with two other renewable energy engineers. We started with in-depth studies on the potential for wind power, and worked with Dutch Technologies to pilot two wind farms in the southern plains of Nepal, which have both been hugely successful. We are now looking to expand our work into the mountains of Nepal.
I was greatly pleased to find out that you are also a strong supporter of renewable energy in Nepal. In fact, I have visited a solar farm in Bardiya supported by Renewable for Nepal. It was amazing to see how well the team had blended modern solar technology and local knowledge. It would be great if we could do something similar in wind power, and I wanted to get in touch to explore the potential for working together.
I am also sharing an article I recently wrote on the future of wind power in Nepal. I hope you enjoy reading it.
Sincerely,
Nisha Koirala
