SJVN Green Energy Signs Agreement for Supply of 200 MW Solar Power to UPCL

SJVN Green Energy has signed a power usage agreement (PUA) with Uttarakhand Power Corporation (UPCL) to supply 200 MW solar power from a 1,000 MW Bikaner project in Rajasthan. The solar project is being developed by SJVN through SGEL in Rajasthan under the Central Public Sector Undertaking (CPSU) scheme of Indian Renewable Energy Development Agency (IREDA).

The development cost of the under construction project is Rs 5,491 crore. It is being developed under the domestic content requirement mode and is scheduled to be commissioned by April 2024.

The power generated from the project would be used by government entities, either directly or through distribution companies or discoms. President Droupadi Murmu laid the foundation stone for the Bikaner solar power project in January, 2023.

The project is expected to generate 2,455 million units in the first year, and about 56,838 million units cumulatively over a period of 25 years, while reducing carbon emissions by 27,85,077 tonne.
