SJVN to Commission 100 MW Project in Dholera Solar Park by Mar, 2022

SJVN Limited, a state-owned hydropower generator, announced that it won 100 MW of solar projects in the Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited’s (GUVNL) auction for 700 MW of solar projects in Dholera solar park (Phase IX).

 

The company said that it won the projects at a tariff of Rs. 2.8/kWh on a build-own-operate (BOO) basis. It added that the estimated cost of development is Rs. 4.5 billion and is expected to generate 244 million units (MU) of electricity annually.

 

The joint venture of the government of India and the state government of Himachal Pradesh also noted that a power purchase agreement (PPA) would be signed between the SJVN and the GUVNL for 25 years, adding that the 100 MW solar project is expected to be commissioned by Mach 2022.

 

The Dholera solar park is expected to cover an area of more than 27,000 acres upon completion to develop 5 GW of solar projects. According to a Gujarat state government release issued earlier this year, “The proposed solar park will attract investment of Rs. 250 billion and provide employment opportunities to more than 20,000 individuals.”
