On the lines of Solar Project on the Narmada River in Gujarat, it seems that Punjab is considering to build a solar park on Patiala Ki Rao at Chandigarh which is having seasonal water flows during two to months only. The project is called as UT Solar Park.
Earlier an Israeli based company, MST, has been consulted to check the viability of putting up solar project at this location. The team has visited sites of Patiala Ki Rao and Sukhna Choe for the proposed project.
However, after that the Punjab Energy Development Agency, the state nodal agency responsible for the development of renewable energy in state, was approached. PEDA has consulted The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) which has recently recommended to set up a 25 MW Project at this site.
According to sources, PEDA will soon invite Expression of Interests (EoI) for the said project.
