ReNew Power commissions 110 MW solar power project in Rajasthan

New Delhi: ReNew Power, India’s leading renewable energy company, on Wednesday announced that it has commissioned a 110 megawatt (MW) solar generation facility in Rajasthan. As part of the project, ReNew has signed a power purchase agreement with Solar Energy Corporation of India at a tariff of Rs 2.49/kWh and will provide clean energy to the state.

 

Earlier, the company had announced the commencement of a 300 megawatt (MW) wind power generation facility in the Indian state of Gujarat that was previously awarded to ReNew’s operating subsidiary ReNew Wind Energy (AP2) Private Limited in a competitive E-reverse auction conducted by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI).

 

The solar project in Jaisalmer district is a part of an eventual 2,300 MW of solar capacity that ReNew is bringing in Rajasthan. The balance of the 2300 MW capacity will generate electricity to be fed into the national grid, helping India achieve the target of 450 gigawatts of clean energy by 2030.

With this commissioning, ReNew's total solar capacity in Rajasthan stands at 500 MW.

 

Commenting on this, Mr. Sumant Sinha, the Founder, Chairman and CEO of ReNew Power said, "The commissioning of our solar project in Rajasthan is another step in ReNew's ambitious solar energy programme. In Rajasthan alone, we aim to commission 2300 MW of solar power capacity by 2023."
