Adani Power Limited, the power sector arm of India's leading integrated infrastructure conglomerate the Adnai Group, has commissioned a 40 MW Solar PV Plant on 6th January 2012 in the Kutch district of Gujarat.
The plant, the country's largest solar power generation
unit, has been commissioned in a record 150 days, starting from
foundation stone laying to electricity generation.
For
India's largest private thermal power producer, the solar power plant
marks Adani's first big foray in the renewable energy sector even as the
Group plans to expand the capacity of this plant to 100 MW, an official
spokesman said here.
The solar power plant is using
solar photovoltaic (PV) technology and has over 400,000 solar PV modules
mounted on 21,600 structures, which are erected on 130,000 foundations.
The
power generated from this solar plant will be evacuated through a 66-kV
line linked to a sub-station in Netra, 20 km from the project site. The
project was awarded to the Adanis under the Gujarat Solar Power Policy,
2009.
Adani Power, a company of Adani Group, is
currently operating 3,300 MW at Mundra with 4 units of 330 MW and 3
units of 660 MW, and is in the process of commissioning two more units
of 660 MW by March to achieve the final plant capacity of 4,620 MW. This
will position Mundra as the site of the single largest thermal power
plant in India.
