Utility Scale PV

SJVN Green Energy Ltd (SGEL), an arm of SJVN Ltd, has invited bids to install and commission a 100 MW solar power project in the Indian state of Rajasthan. Bidding closes on April 26.

Solar is poised to be the leading energy source in the next century. In terms of cost, renewables are almost at par with their dirtier counterparts, and within a few years will soon overtake them in terms of the volume of the overall worldwide energy produced.

The European authorities are trying to determine whether two consortia – including subsidiaries of Longi and Shanghai Electric – violated the new EU rules on foreign subsidies when they participated in a procurement process in Romania for a 110 MW solar farm. The European Commission is expected to make a final decision within 110 working days.

Airtouch Solar has secured a third order from Adani Green Energy Ltd (AGEL) in a span of nine months. The company will deploy its latest AT 4.1 series water-free cleaning robots for AGEL’s select PV sites in Rajasthan, increasing the energy output of the assets whilst saving 50 million litres of water annually.

Cero Development Hellas, a joint venture between Macquarie and Enel, has secured approval to install 749 MWh at one of the largest PV plants in Greece.

The winning developers will set up the solar projects on a build-own-operate basis and supply the power under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Solar Energy Corp. of India.

The solar plant, located in Rajasthan, is India’s first interstate transmission system (ISTS) connected PV project with a long-term commercial and industrial (C&I) offtaker.

The floor price for the qualified institutional placement is set at INR 510.09 per equity share.
