This greenfield project comprises five solar photovoltaic (SPV) locations in the Indian States of Telangana, Gujarat and Rajasthan, together with a total installed capacity of 205 MW. This grid-connected project supplies emissions-free energy to Indias electricity grid, replacing carbon-intensive energy sources.
The project promotes environmental and socio-economic wellbeing, as a renewable energy initiative that produces zero greenhouse gas emissions. Nearby communities will benefit from new job opportunities for both skilled workers and for power plant security positions and improved local infrastructure, as well as educational initiatives., and grants for schools and community temples.
