The solar plants are to be set upon the land available at four airport sites in the States of Delhi (2 MW), Madhya Pradesh (0.5 MW+0.5 MW), and Rajasthan (0.5 MW) under net metering.
The State is now self-sufficient in power generation with 22 GW of electricity produced per day from sources including water, coal, wind, and sun.
NTPC Renewable Energy Limited has signed a power purchase agreement with Indian Railways, Madhya Pradesh Power Management Company Limited (MPPMCL), and Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL).
The renewable energy developer is ready to invest INR 18,000 crore (US$ 2414.29 million) in setting up a 50 kilotonne per annum green hydrogen production plant in the State.
The grid-connected solar projects may be set up either as net-metered systems or systems for consumption within premises with no export of power. Bidding ends on November 29.
The company’s arm TP Saurya Limited has received the letter of award to build an aggregate 330 MW PV capacity in the 500MW Neemuch Solar Park.
The recent auctions for solar parks in Agar (550 MW), Neemuch (500 MW), and Shajapur (450 MW) districts of Madhya Pradesh saw winning tariffs in the range of INR 2.14 (0.029 US$) to INR 2.459 (0.034 US$).
Developers have until August 31 to bid for grid-connected solar installation under the Scheme that allows farmers to set up PV power plants on their uncultivable land and benefit from selling the generated power to the State Discoms.
The state-run producer has secured two projects of 220 MW and 105 MW at the Shajapur Solar Park, at a tariff of INR 2.33/kWh (US$ 0.031/kWh) and INR 2.35/kWh (US$ 0.032/kWh), respectively.
The Indian State of Madhya Pradesh is going to host a 950 MW solar power plant in the Chhatarpur district. The PV plant is planned to be completed by March 2023. Land proceedings for the plant have already been completed. The tender inviting developers will be issued by November, and the developer selection process completed by January 2022.
