From the environmental point of view of the solar project, the Rewa solar project is preventing emission of 15.7 lakh tonnes of carbon dioxide every year which is equivalent to planting 20 million trees.

This solar power plant has a total of three units. Each unit is producing 25 mega watts of electricity. 76 percent of the power generated from the project is being provided to the state's Power Management Company and 24 percent to Delhi Metro.
