With the new project, ReNew’s total solar capacity in Rajasthan stands at 500 MW.
ReNew Power announced the commissioning of a 110-megawatt (MW) solar generation facility in Rajasthan. As part of the project, the company has signed a power purchase agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India at a tariff of Rs 2.49/kWh (US$0.034/kWh) to provide clean energy in Rajasthan.
The new solar project commissioned by ReNew is a part of an eventual 2,300 MW of solar capacity that the company is bringing online in Rajasthan. The balance of the 2,300 MW of generation capacity will generate electricity to be fed into the national grid, aiding in the achievement of India’s target of 450 gigawatts (GW) of clean energy by 2030.
Deployment of monocrystalline and bifacial solar modules and state-of-the-art robotic cleaning techniques for ReNew’s finished solar panels will ensure greater efficiency and maximum utilisation of solar modules in the solar farm which is in the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan.
With this commissioning, ReNew’s total solar capacity in Rajasthan stands at 500 MW. Speaking about the project, Founder Chairman and CEO of ReNew Power, Sumant Sinha said, “The commissioning of our solar project in Rajasthan is another step in ReNew’s ambitious solar energy program. In Rajasthan alone, we aim to commission 2,300 MW of solar power capacity by 2023. As with the Gujarat wind generation project commissioning announced in March, this milestone is an important one for both the company and India, as we continue to build our renewable power infrastructure and move the country closer to achieving its renewable energy target.”
ReNew Power Private Limited is one of India’s leading renewable energy independent power producer (IPP) by capacity. ReNew develops, builds, owns, and operates utility-scale wind energy projects, utility-scale solar energy projects, utility-scale firm power projects and distributed solar energy projects.
