Indian diversified business group Jakson Power Solutions has commissioned a 20MW solar power project in the state of Rajasthan.
Located at Jodhpur District, the project is based on crystalline cell technology and represents the company’s first independent solar power project.
The plant is built across 100 acres of land and is the largest single location solar power farm in India, claimed the company.
From land purchase to commissioning, the project’s execution was completed within a span of just 10 months.
The company invested INR2bn ($36.58m) to develop the facility, established under the Phase 1 of the Indian government’s Jawaharlal Nehru National Solar Mission (JNNSM).
NTPC Vidyut Vyapar Nigam (NVVN) has signed a 25-year power purchase agreement with Jakson Power Solutions for the project.
Jakson Power Solutions has also acquired 250 acres of land at the same site with plans to further develop solar farms and expand capacity to 100MW within the next three years.
